Activate the world’s innovators to redefine how science serves society and sustains the planet.

About

It partners with world-class research institutions to support and expand programs for hard tech innovators. In one of its first moves to enhance the hard tech innovation ecosystem. The Organization is partnering with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to support its groundbreaking Cyclotron Road program. Cyclotron Road recruits the brightest science and engineering minds from across the country and embeds them at Berkeley Lab to launch new energy technology startup companies. The program offers these innovators essential strategic guidance and services, educational programming, and access to a tailored network of hard tech mentors and advisers. By accessing the scientific resources of Berkeley Lab and the business resources of the program provided by the Organization, Cyclotron Road innovators can dramatically accelerate the commercialization of their hard tech energy innovations.
