About this archived opportunity

Bringing Rapid Innovation Development to Green Energy (BRIDGE) 2024 seeks to 1) help start-up companies minimize the time between when their successful publicly-funded project ends and new public funding becomes available; and 2) mobilize more early-stage capital in the clean energy space by providing non-dilutive, matching investments in promising clean energy companies in conjunction with investors and commercial partners. BRIDGE provides increased support for the most promising clean energy technologies that have already attracted interest from the market as they are developed and continue their path to market adoption. Eligible projects must fall within one or more of the following technology categories: · Category 1: Energy Efficiency; or · Category 2: End-use Electrification; or · Category 3: Energy Storage; or · Category 4: Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning/Advanced Sensing; or · Category 5: Advanced Power Electronics/Power Conditioning; or · Category 6: Zero- and Negative-Carbon Emission Generation (Renewable Generation)
