|
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Breakthrough Energy Fellows (BEF) is designed to tackle early-stage barriers to climate technology innovation, accelerating discovery and increasing the number of technologies working toward commercialization. By providing scientists, innovators, and entrepreneurs with research funding and hands-on support, our program ensures projects have the time, resources, and community to advance to the next stages of development. The following programs are available:
Business Fellowship: The Business Fellowship is also a full-time program, designed for experienced business professionals. Business Fellows support Innovators in their technology commercialization efforts, complementing the scientific expertise of our Innovators. These exceptional business experts are recruited on an as-needed basis.
Explorers: Finally, Explorers receive funding for developing breakthrough climate solutions that are earlier stage, higher technical risk, and may not yet be ready to incorporate. Explorer projects are typically in a university lab or research entity and are overseen by professors, faculty members, or researchers who can remain in position for this part-time opportunity.
