CTE Seeks Applicants for Groundbreaking Alaska Clean Tech Incubator Program
New Partnership Accelerates Adoption of Climate Tech in Alaska
Atlanta, GA - CTE invites interested start-ups to apply for Launch Alaska's Tech Deployment Track, an eight-month accelerator program that pairs climate tech startups with Alaskan partners and customers to develop opportunities for deployment in the state.
Each year, the Tech Deployment Track brings a cohort of companies to work with a panel of industry experts in Alaska to set ambitious goals and aggressively move toward securing and deploying projects. The Tech Deployment Track is a phased program with several evaluation points; companies remain in the program as long as they demonstrate continued progress towards a project in Alaska. The Tech Deployment Track is accepting applications until May 15, 2022. More information is available in the Program Information Packet.
With communities and landscapes already facing significant climate change impacts, Alaska is a prime proving ground for deploying innovative climate tech. The Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) recently partnered with Launch Alaska Transportation and Energy Accelerator (LATEA) and Alaska Electric Vehicle Association (AKEVA) to support zero-emission technology innovation in Alaska.
The partnership is supported through the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy Program for Innovation Clusters (EPIC), an initiative that encourages ecosystems for testing, validation, and demonstration of innovative technologies to help scale U.S. energy manufacturing.
