ARPA-E's video: ARPA-E Announces 9 Projects in SCALEUP Program to Accelerate Commercial Scaling of Energy Technology

ARPA-E announces 9 projects in our new SCALEUP Program, including: - Natron Energy - Bridger Photonics - 24M - AutoGrid Systems - Cambridge Electronics - LongPath Technologies - Sila Nanotechnologies - Switched Source - Ionic Materials SCALEUP - Seeding Critical Advances for Leading Energy technologies with Untapped Potential - is a first-of-its-kind initiative, supporting the scaling of high-risk and potentially disruptive new technologies across the full spectrum of energy applications. The goal of the program is to translate the performance achieved at the lab- and bench-scale by previously funded ARPA-E technologies to commercial viability, supporting promising energy technologies that require scaling-up or pre-pilot projects to enable a path to market and ultimately lead to realized commercial impact. SCALEUP awardees are unique in that they will focus on further developing existing technologies, for which the proof-of-concept R&D challenges have been addressed, that can establish real-world impact through scaling. ARPA-E developed the SCALEUP program in response to a need identified to help successful ARPA-E funded technologies to demonstrate a path to market and be well-positioned for investment from the private sector.
