We invite you to join us for the National Lab Accelerator Pitch Event highlighting innovation and commercialization. Over the past months scientists and engineers from Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories from across the country have been trained in entrepreneurial skills and have developed business models and pitch presentations for innovations developed at their respective labs. We are looking forward to you joining us to watch these presentations and provide valuable feedback from your experience and share your expertise.

There are ten pitch presentations from ten different national labs. Each presenter will have 20 min—10 min pre-recorded pitch followed by 10 min of live Q&A. The winner, as judged by 5 members of the Bay Area and Silicon Valley investment community, will receive a $25,000 prize from DOE Office of Technology Transitions to spend toward furthering commercialization activities. More importantly, the winner will have bragging rights as the best pitcher from all the national labs!
