The EERE Commercialization team provides opportunities for individuals and industry to get involved with DOE and its partner laboratories. These opportunities foster the expansion of DOE's mission to benefit the public through increased national energy security, improved environmental stewardship and enhanced economic prosperity. The opportunities below promote DOE's mission through communication between government and industry, involvement of business minds, and development and deployment of lab technologies.
Technology Commercialization Showcase
The Technology Commercialization Showcase is an opportunity for venture capitalists to get a first-hand look at different technologies from the 10 different DOE programs. Read more about the 2008 Technology Commercialization Showcase and presentations from the 2007 Showcase.
Summer Associate Program
Graduate students have the opportunity to apply to work with the Commercialization team during the summer at DOE headquarters in Washington, DC through the Summer Associate Program. For more information, contact the Commercialization Team.
Commercialization Fellowship
The Commercialization program provides selected applicants the opportunity to work at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, CO. Chosen applicants become NREL Commercialization Fellows who conduct technical business assessments of innovations at the lab. For details visit Commercialization Fellowship.
Financial Opportunities
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) works with business, industry, universities, and others to increase the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. One way EERE encourages the growth of these technologies is by offering financial assistance opportunities for their development and demonstration. For further information on Opportunities, please visit EERE Financial Opportunities.
R&D 100 Awards
R&D 100 Awards have been presented to numerous national laboratories for an array of different projects. These awards highlight technologies that need an additional push from private industry toward the marketplace. According to the R&D 100 Web site, "winning an R&D 100 Award provides a mark of excellence known to industry, government, and academia as proof that the product is one of the most innovative ideas of the year."
