“We are eager to do our part by designing a program that will uncover untapped potential and innovation and help bridge the gap from lab to market.
” The program will focus on startups and technologies that are supporting advancements in: Coastal and ocean carbon sequestration monitoring and accounting Hazard mitigation and coastal resilience Ecosystem services, including change detection, change analysis (cause and effects), and change adaptation and/or mitigation “As we work to tackle climate change, public-private partnerships like the Ocean-Based Climate Resilience Accelerator program will help to catalyze innovation and empower entrepreneurs to develop new climate resilience technologies,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.
“This investment will strengthen communities across our country by making sure small businesses have the tools and resources they need to address the climate crisis head-on. ” Phase One award recipients will be invited to apply for a second phase of funding, which will award up to a total of $55 million for the implementation of up to five of the proposed accelerators designed during the first phase.
VentureWell supports the cultivation of an emerging generation of science and technology inventors and the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems that are critical to their success.
Since its founding in 1995, VentureWell has funded or trained over 16,000 science and technology inventors and innovators, resulting in the emergence of 3,600+ ventures with ground-breaking technological advancements in fields like biomedicine and healthcare, sustainable energy and materials, and solutions for low-resource settings.
