Chain Reaction Innovations (CRI) embedds innovators focusing on energy and science technologies in Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago for two years to provide access to cutting-edge equipment and experts to accelerate the de-risking of game-changing technologies. Program participants will receive the financial and technical support needed to mature nascent technologies that face long development cycles to the proof-of-concept level, thus getting them to the point where they can access conventional sources of financial support to scale and launch into the marketplace.
Innovators are supported through fellowship funding that covers salary, benefits, and use of laboratory equipment and office space. Through a partnership with mentor organizations, CRI participants will get assistance developing business strategies, conducting market research, and finding long-term financing and potential commercial partners.
