Greentech Lead America: New York City Accelerator for a
Clean and Renewable Economy (NYC ACRE at NYU-Poly) announced the addition of
three startups to its roster of cleantech business incubator program.
The latest entrants to join NYC ACRE which has 11 members
are Energex Technologies, Enertiv and HEVO.
Energex Technologies aims to produce a first-of-its-kind environmental
sensor technology  to optimize and protect data centers. The
technology allows organizations to assess and monitor critical environmental
variables including temperature, humidity, pressure, air flow, gaps,
vibrations, smoke and pollutants, all without the need for multiple sensors.
Enertiv designs, manufactures, markets and installs
real-time energy monitoring systems and software for commercial and
institutional facilities. Its flagship system, Enertiv One, works at the
circuit level to track, measure and report energy usage, allowing facility
managers to identify energy waste and trim costs. Â
HEVO (Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Optimization) is
developing a rugged wireless charging unit, the HEVO Power Station, designed to
be deployed in parking lots and garages, motor pools, city streets, highways
and other highly trafficked areas
NYC ACRE was founded in 2009 with a mission to establish
New York as a hub for clean energy technology innovation and entrepreneurship.
In three years, NYC ACRE startups have raised more than $17 million in capital
and created 100 full-time jobs. To date, seven companies have
“graduated” from the incubator.
The initiative is funded by a four-year, $1.5 million
grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority
(NYSERDA) and is operated by the Polytechnic Institute of New York University
(NYU-Poly).
Partners include the New York City Investment Fund, the
New York City Economic Development Corporation, NYU, Columbia University and
Pratt Institute.
“There’s palpable excitement each time we welcome
new businesses to NYC ACRE, and we congratulate Energex, Enertiv and HEVO on
joining this outstanding group of companies,” said NYU-Poly president
Jerry M. Hultin. “Every clean energy idea that grows into a strong
business enriches our community of entrepreneurs, and builds New York City as a
place where global climate and energy solutions are born.”
