CEBIP is one of twenty incubators and accelerators that have each been awarded the $50,000 prize for their high-impact ideas that support energy start-ups and entrepreneurs.
CETX program is “coordinating energy-relevant hard-tech IP portfolio development across National Labs and universities”. Powered by the Stony Brook Clean Energy Business Incubator Program, CETX will leverage expert partners & the market to move clean energy hardware technologies across the transfer gap to development traction.
The DOE EPIC is a three-phase, year-long competition which was established to support robust energy innovation ecosystems as a means of increasing local business productivity, improving the commercial success of start-ups, and driving the pace of regional innovation.
