ENERGY INNOVATION TRANSFER GRANTS
Sustainable energy related projects with commercialization potential are awarded Energy Innovation Transfer Grants through a competitive selection process. The grants allow researchers to bridge the gap between government support for basic science and private-sector and venture funding for emerging innovations. In addition to funding prototype development and customer and market trials, the grants will assist participants to develop a more business-centric approach to the potential markets and applications of their concepts.
