DOE to streamline collaboration between national labs, ventures

In Washington, Deputy Secretary of Energy Daniel Poneman announced a new pilot initiative to reduce hurdles that prevent innovative companies from working with the DOE’s national laboratories.

The new Agreements for Commercializing Technology will help businesses bring job-creating technologies to the market faster by allowing them to work with the DOE’s national laboratories from start to finish to develop and deliver new clean energy technologies and other innovations.  In January, the Department will announce the laboratories selected to participate in the pilot.
