Abstract: Technology breakthroughs in sustainable renewable energy and energy conservation technologies require that there be a strong institutional ecosystem in place which supports innovation, but the nature of this foundation and how it works particularly in the area of sustainable renewable energy technology and energy conservation is not well-known. Becoming a leader necessitates new forms of cross-sector cooperation. Institutions from the public, private, and non-profit sectors must discover new ways to act in concert to bring about change.
