Miranda has grown the iCA to a robust network of member companies with a combined market cap of over $8T, with more than 50% represented on the various technical committees to ensure a “by the members, for the members” approach. Centered around Power, Equipment, Materials, and, new in 2026, Water, iCA has published a Maturity Model and case studies to address critical topics in these areas.
