The Dominion Energy Innovation Center was founded in 2009 as a public-private partnership between Activation Capital, Dominion Energy, the town of Ashland and Hanover County. The organization has a coworking space and at that time worked with companies in a variety of sectors. In 2020, the DEIC decided to focus on energy sector startups and created an accelerator program for more established startups in that field.
