Commercialization Efforts at the Department of Energy

The Department of Energy (DOE) is focusing on enhancing technology commercialization to effectively bring promising clean energy technologies from research to market. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between innovations developed in DOE labs and their deployment in the consumer market, addressing what is often referred to as the 'valley of death'. By coordinating commercialization activities among its vast network of national labs, the DOE seeks to foster collaboration between public and private sectors, ensuring that innovations do not just remain theoretical but are translated into practical applications that meet market demands.
