We Build Cleantech Businesses for Maximum Impact  

Cox Cleantech empowers businesses to be environmentally and economically sustainable. We build partnerships with companies that are significantly reducing waste and producing renewable resources for the low-carbon and circular economy.   

As part of the Cox family of businesses, we are grounded in innovation and enterprise expertise. We create high-value companies with scalable infrastructure, guided by our focus on reducing waste and achieving net zero goals – and we do it all as part of our mission to build a better future for the next generation.

Cox Cleantech is more than an investor in companies who are growing impact technologies; we’re an operator committed to creating a greener footprint of our own. Our parent company, Cox Enterprises, has a 125-year history of scaling business for long-term success and a passion for pioneering the next big thing in environmental sustainability. Perhaps most importantly, we have the capital, expertise and curiosity to help grow cleantech companies into successful enterprises that make a positive impact on the world we leave to the next generation.
