""Addressing the closely coupled climate and energy challenge is the moral imperative and economic opportunity of our generation. I have watched the MIT climate and energy entrepreneurial ecosystem from its start and as it has successfully grown well beyond MIT. I know that at the core of its success have been rigorous frameworks to bring research to market. This book describes the MIT model in ways that should be useful to all current and aspiring innovators in this field."" -- ""Susan Hockfield, president emerita, MIT""
