Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has the fastest, lowest cost path to commercial fusion energy. CFS is collaborating with MIT to leverage decades of research combined with new groundbreaking high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology. HTS magnets will enable compact fusion power plants that can be constructed faster and at lower cost. CFS is now building SPARC, the world's first commercially relevant, net energy fusion demonstration device. SPARC will pave the way for the first fusion power plant, ARC, that will produce power on the grid. The ultimate mission is to deploy fusion power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. CFS has assembled a team of leaders in tough tech, fusion science, and manufacturing with a track record of rapid execution. Supported by the world’s leading investors, CFS is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change.
Form Energy is developing a new class of cost-effective, multi-day energy storage systems that will enable a reliable, resilient, and fully renewable electric grid year-round. Our pioneering battery technology will entirely reshape the global electric system and give it new form.
ISEE is an autonomous driving technology company, spun out of MIT, whose humanistic, AI-powered, self-driving yard trucks are modernizing the global supply chain for the world’s leading companies. ISEE autonomous yard trucks are helping customers like Maersk, Lazerspot, and Fortune 100 retail companies automate their logistics hubs and achieve even greater yard safety, cost savings, consistent driving performance, and reliable driving capacity. With proprietary technology that anticipates unexpected behavior better than any other solution on the market, ISEE is poised to become a leader in the $100B global autonomous yard truck market.
Celestial AI is a Neuromorphic Photonic AI Computing solution that serves as deep learning and machine learning applications. The company's mission is to transform data-parallel computing with a proprietary Photonic Fabric technology platform that uses light for data movement both within the chip and between chips.
Sublime is developing a breakthrough process to make low-carbon cement. The technology replaces the industry's legacy fossil-fuel-intensive thermal calciner process with an electrochemical process that produces low-carbon cement at ambient temperatures with renewable electricity. Sublime was started in 2020, as a spin-out of Yet-Ming Chiang's lab at MIT (Form Energy, A123, American Superconductor, 24M, Desktop Metals).
VEIR is developing a new generation of High Temperature Superconductor (HTS)-based transmission lines. VEIR’s evaporative cooling architecture delivers 20 times the cooling power per kilogram of coolant flow compared to conventional approaches. VEIR’s innovations will enable reliable, low loss, cost–effective HTS-based transmission over long distances in narrow rights–of–way, connecting the lowest cost renewable power to where it’s needed, when it’s needed.
Boston Metal is a metallurgy company developing technology to reduce the carbon footprint of steel production. The company provides industrial-scale, metal production solutions utilizing its Molten Oxide Electrolysis (MOE) process. MOE provides the metals industry with a more efficient, lower-cost, and greener solution for the production of a widearray of metals and alloys from a wide variety of feedstocks. Boston Metal was spun out of MIT in 2012 with an investment from Ingo Wender and has since scaled the technology 1,000x and produced thousands of kilograms of metal. Boston Metal’s headquarters and industrial development center are located in Woburn, MA.
Volta Labs is a group of antidisciplinary scientists and builders working at the intersection of engineering and biology. We are building a sequencing technology agnostic platform that spans from the raw biological sample to sequenceable molecules. We are doing this by reinventing the full stack — hardware, software, chemistry, and biology — to create simple, flexible, and powerful solutions for sample preparation and beyond.
Osmo gives computers a sense of smell that improves the health and well-being of human life. Osmo brings together frontier AI and olfactory science to tackle a historic challenge. While they are initially focused on the intricate world of fragrance, their ultimate objective is to enhance the health and well-being of human life through the sense of smell.
Qnergy is dedicated to solving the distributed methane challenge. Leveraging the exceptional capabilities of our linear Free Piston Stirling Engine, we harness low-grade, otherwise polluting, methane into useful power. We have already deployed thousands of units, leading to emission reduction of millions of tonnes of CO2e.
