About Us

The Texas Foundation for Innovative Communities is a non-profit funded by the state of Texas to develop global competitiveness in “Clean Tech,” the world’s fastest growing industry, a $7 trillion global opportunity.   TFIC’s initiatives are designed to be replicable across all of Texas’ strategic industries.  The next slides list our three flagship projects.
