Selected startups will work alongside leading energy utilities to deliver innovative solutions that advance the energy transition. Participants will gather globally, engaging in both in-person and virtual modules, designed to fast-track their progress. The program provides an accelerated path for startups to develop and scale their businesses, pilot solutions and access potential investment opportunities.
This funding opportunity is for EXISTING APEX Accelerators to maintain an APEX Accelerator to serve as a resource for large and small businesses, including newly started businesses, to obtain procurement technical assistance. Please save the FY26 performance and financial reporting templates for future use during the period of performance, because this announcement will be archived 30 days after the closing date.
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks to increase the scale and pace of advancing discoveries resulting from academic research into tangible solutions that benefit the public. The overarching goal for the Accelerating Research Translation (ART) program is to advance the U.S. scientific and economic leadership by building capacity and increasing the number of robust translational research ecosystems in Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) that span across the full geography of our nation. Innovations can occur anywhere and can be opportunities for creating sustained impacts in every single region of the United States. Apply by January 26th (Tracks 2 and 5) and by March 12th (Tracks 1, 3, and 4).
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC) is excited for the 2025 Energy Program for Innovation Clusters (EPIC) Startup Pitch Competition Prize program. This startup pitch competition program aims to infuse capital directly into groundbreaking startups nominated by previous EPIC Prize incubators. Through the EPIC Pitch Competition program, DOE seeks to fund organizations that are developing innovative energy hardware technologies. A minimum of two national pitch competitions for energy-related startups will be hosted in 2025, with more specific details to come early in the year.
The ITV program is funded by DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). EERE works to strengthen America’s industrial sector and advance global competitiveness of U.S. industry by funding research, development, and early-stage demonstration (RD&D) of efficient, secure, and cost-effective industrial technologies. EERE funds both sector-specific technology solutions—with a focus on helping the most energy-intensive industries overcome barriers and benefit from the latest in technology innovation and strategic analysis—and cross-cutting technologies across the industrial sector. EERE also provides tailored technical assistance programs to leverage energy efficiency measures and help manufacturers save money and streamline operations.
The Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC) is issuing this lab call to solicit proposals for the Energy I-Corps (EIC) program. The goal of EIC is to train researchers at DOE National Laboratories, and DOE plants, and sites to identify market pathways for their technology. This call solicits proposals from DOE National Laboratory, plant, and site technology transfer offices to participate in EIC, for researchers to develop skills in commercialization, and to investigate the market potential for DOE-funded technologies at a critical juncture on the path toward commercialization.
Aspiring entrepreneurs aim to tackle the world’s greatest energy challenges. Selected innovators’ core technologies align with NREL’s research mission of leading research, innovation, and strategic partnerships to deliver integrated solutions for an affordable and secure energy future.
West Gate embeds innovators at NREL and pairs them with scientists who specialize in the innovators’ technology areas. Throughout the program’s 2-year runway, innovators work with scientists in NREL’s world-class laboratories to de-risk their technologies, ready them for market, and grow their startup companies.
The Clean Fight, Builders Vision, and Breakthrough Energy, with support from Turner Construction Company, are proud to announce the Deployment Grand Fund – a new national program to help proven building solutions get deployed faster and more widely. Through small-dollar catalytic capital ranging from $50,000 to $250,000, the program is designed to scale energy innovation and resilience projects in buildings. The effort seeks replicable pathways to have proven climate solutions adopted affordably, transform first deployments into first-of-many, cut energy costs, and accelerate the growth of a cleaner, more resilient economy. If you’re interested in learning more about the Deployment Grant Fund and being involved contact [email protected].
The FY 2024 Phase I CCI competition is open to projects in all fields supported by the Division of Chemistry, and must have scientific focus and the potential for transformative impact in chemistry. The NSF Division of Chemistry particularly encourages fundamental chemistry projects aligned with articulated budget priorities, including Advanced Manufacturing, Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductor Research, Biotechnology, Climate Research and Sustainability, Clean Energy, and Quantum Information Science.
