Cohort 9 Finals March 6
Tune in to Chain Reaction Innovations (CRI) Finals Pitch Competition for Cohort 9 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central on Thursday, March 6th. Learn about cutting-edge technologies that may potentially embed at Argonne National Laboratory as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program.
After a nationwide call for applications and a rigorous review process, 11 individuals advanced to the Finals pitch competition to join CRI’s next cohort. A broad range of innovations are represented in this year’s applicants, including energy storage, quantum, manufacturing, and advanced materials.
The 11 startup founders will pitch their technologies at Argonne National Laboratory before a panel of internal and external reviewers. The public is invited to watch this event virtually. Use this link to join the Zoom webinar.
