The Syracuse CoE OIC CAP program was established in partnership with the Metropolitan Development Association (MDA) and the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) with grants received under the auspices of New York Assemblyman William Magnarelli.

The grants are designed to encourage innovation, product development, and entrepreneurship in the field of clean and renewable energy and indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and to grow the Central Upstate New York economy through investment in clean and green technology.

New York Creative Core companies that have benefited from CAP grants include: OrthoSystems, Air Innovations, NuClimate Air Quality Systems, O'Brien & Gere, Taitem Engineering, Galson Laboratories, Rupprecht & Patashnick, Double A Willow, Isolation Sciences, VentoTek, and Widetronix Semiconductors.
