Energy and Manufacturing to Secure U.S. Prosperity
Our mission: “Opening Argonne’s doors to entrepreneurs of tomorrow—
one innovator, one startup at a time.”
Our Guiding Principles
- Securing U.S. energy prosperity requires complex science.
- It will take breakthroughs in chemistry, physics, materials, and engineering to develop energy sources and deliver energy affordably to the U.S. and across the globe, including to the 1.4 billion people currently living without access to power, clean water and the billions more with unreliable power.
- A secure future and competitive America depends on advanced manufacturing.
- Big challenges require big, bold partnerships.
- The invention, development, and commercialization of transformative innovations require collaboration between government and the private sector to successfully transition new technologies from the lab to the marketplace.
Neither the U.S. Department of Energy, Argonne nor its employees take equity in CRI startups. Argonne operates as a steward of federal funds and takes seriously any actual or perceived conflicts of interest.
Our Path to Success
- We identify the best and brightest innovators.
- We provide unprecedented access to world-class scientific tools and expertise.
- We partner innovators with mentors to build strong business strategies and support game-changing technologies.
