<h3>Who We Are</h3>
The Clean Fight is a not-for-profit dedicated to accelerating the equitable adoption of climate solutions in New York State and beyond. Given that many of the technologies we need to solve the climate crisis already exist, it&rsquo;s imperative that we ensure they are adopted quickly, equitably, and at scale. To enable this adoption, The Clean Fight designs and implements different models of adoption to identify and share the actionable strategies that can lead to the rapid deployment of decarbonization solutions, for all. Our programs focus on different parts of the clean energy economy, with practice areas that include buildings, energy storage, and food services.
The Clean Fight currently has three core programs. The&nbsp;<a class="button--2de5X button--14TuV tertiary--1JsWJ external" tabindex="0" href="https://www.thecleanfight.com/accelerator" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" data-role="button-link">accelerator program</a>&nbsp;is New York State&rsquo;s only accelerator focused on growth-stage companies, supporting innovative climate companies looking to move from initial deployment to broad market adoption. Our program is designed to help them quickly scale by collapsing the sales cycle through high-touch customer and capital partner matchmaking, technical assistance, and non-dilutive investments to help with initial deployments. Our second program, the&nbsp;<a class="button--2de5X button--14TuV tertiary--1JsWJ external" tabindex="0" href="https://www.thecleanfight.com/etp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" data-role="button-link">Empire Technology Prize</a>, is a $10M prize program focused on advancing the development and deployment of easy to adopt clean heating solutions for New York's tall buildings. By focusing the world&rsquo;s best innovators on this issue, combined with the involvement of New York's leading real estate players as demonstration partners, we hope not only to collapse the time to market for these crucial&nbsp; technologies, but to provide a blueprint for other markets in the US and globally to do the same.
Our latest program, the&nbsp;<a class="button--2de5X button--14TuV tertiary--1JsWJ external" tabindex="0" href="https://thecleanfight.com/programs/capital-challenge" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" data-role="button-link">Energy Storage Capital Challenge</a>, is designed to support innovative energy storage projects in need of capital to advance their deployment in New York State.

However, significant obstacles exist for innovators and developers to successfully deploy in New York&rsquo;s unique market.
