Argonne OutLoud: Lab to Launch: Argonne Helping U.S. Science Startups Forge the Future

Подробнее о видео

Since it launched in 2016, Argonne’s renowned entrepreneurship program – Chain Reaction Innovations (CRI) – has supported 44 innovators, who have independently raised $666 million in follow-on funding and created 698 U.S. jobs – all while pushing scientific boundaries in areas of strategic importance for the nation such as critical material supply chains and quantum information science.

CRI embeds some of the brightest innovators from across the U.S. at the lab for two years. During their time in the program, innovators receive the financial and technical support needed to perform early-stage research and development with an eye toward launching energy- or science-based companies.

This edition of the Argonne OutLoud public lecture series – titled “Lab to Launch: Argonne Helping U.S. Science Startups Forge the Future” and held on April 22, 2025 – spotlighted the CRI program and the entrepreneurial journeys of two innovators who have benefitted from it.
