The LACI effort in L.A. “is a model for folks around the country … investing in clean energy,” says VP Kamala Harris.
Vice President Kamala Harris toured the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator in downtown L.A.’s Arts District on Monday afternoon to highlight how the Biden-Harris administration is supporting clean energy entrepreneurs and encouraging people of all backgrounds to join America’s green technology industry.

Vice President Kamala Harris speaks to entrepreneurs while standing next to Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator CEO Matt Petersen, during a visit to the company Monday, April 17, 2023, in Los Angeles. “The work that is happening at LACI is a worldwide model around what happens when we invest in talent, when we invest in innovation, when we invest in people who have really great, smart ideas,” Harris said on April 17.
During a tour of the facility at 525 S. Hewitt St., Harris met with several entrepreneurs who received funding from LACI — as well as graduates of the organization’s workforce training programs who now have full-time well-paying jobs in L.A.’s clean energy industry. Other key climate legislation passed under the Biden-Harris administration includes the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which is aimed at advancing climate resilience and environmental justice, and the CHIPS and Science Act, which is intended to boost clean energy innovation.
