A clean energy accelerator deploying solutions for northern climate challenges
Grid Catalyst is working to accelerate clean energy deployment by connecting entrepreneurs to project demonstration, mentorship and development, and investments to grow their business.
Demonstrating What's Possible
On the path to commercialization, technology startups need to demonstrate the potential and performance of their innovation. This is easier said than done when big ideas emerge from the lab and struggle to find a partner and a site willing to test something new. Without this stage of demonstration, businesses are left idling at the commercialization valley-of-death. Let’s change that.
The Grid Catalyst clean energy accelerator works diligently with a strong network of industry-leading demonstration partners to find the right path and location to help businesses validate their value proposition for future clients and investors. Meet our 2024 Demonstration Cohort.
