The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Technology Transitions is pleased to provide an update on the Energy I-Corps program. Now in its eighth year, Energy I-Corps addresses critical gaps in workforce development for our National Lab researchers. It provides meaningful real-world opportunities for the application of commercialization and entrepreneurial skills to DOE technologies. As of November 2022, 191 teams from 12 National Labs have participated in Energy I-Corps over the course of 15 cohorts and the pilot. Since its inception, Energy I-Corps participants have learned from more than 180 industry mentors and conducted over 13,600 discovery interviews with companies like: EPRI, Shell, Ford, World Bank, Breakthrough Energy, John Deere, Siemens Gamesa, Chevron, Eaton, Samsung, Lowes, Johns Manville, LEGO, U.S. Army, Trane, Tesla, GM, Dow Chemical, 3M, Whirlpool, GE, Home Depot, and Amazon. Over 20 teams have launched new businesses based on their Energy I-Corps technology. Post Energy I-Corps, technologies have attracted over $140M in post-program funding and executed over 75 licenses.
