Researchers in the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) 17 national labs are working every day to develop new solutions to global challenges. Energy I-Corps provides an opportunity for industry partners to identify promising energy technologies and explore partnerships with DOE national labs. Energy I-Corps is a training program where scientists at DOE national labs explore the market applications of their research and learn to prepare their technologies for partnership and potential off -take by the private sector.
The sixth cohort of Energy I-Corps researchers will be in Washington, DC, November 14-16, 2017, for their final program sessions and graduation. Select events and activities on November 15th and 16th are open to the public as observers. Details can be found below.
For more information or to RSVP, email Melanie Cornell at melanie.cornell@ee.doe.gov. Space is limited and reservations will be accepted in order received. All events are closed to media.
