Commonwealth Fusion is a research company that develops energy through an inexhaustible power plant. It uses rare-earth barium copper oxide superconductor technology to develop energy. They combine proven physics backed by decades of government-funded fusion research with a revolutionary superconducting magnet technology to accelerate the path to commercial fusion energy Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) is on track to bring fusion energy technology to the market. CFS was spun out of MIT and is collaborating with MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center to leverage decades of research combined with the innovation and speed of the private sector. The business designs and builds fusion machines that deliver limitless and clean fusion energy and integrate proven physics with magnet technology, allowing clients to contribute to the expansion of renewable energy while mitigating the effects of climate change.
Form Energy develops and commercializes a low-cost battery system that can store wind and solar energy for a long duration. It aims to make batteries that can dispatch energy for days, expanding the ability to supply wind and solar power to the grid. The company's technology transforms the electric grid by making renewable energy dispatchable year-round, as well as extending transmission capacity without building new wires, and replacing the need for conventional thermal generation. Its core technology was invented at MIT and is supported by investors which include Breakthrough Energy Ventures, MIT’s The Engine, Macquarie Capital, Eni Next, Capricorn Investment Group, and Prelude Ventures. Their team members are active learners who like working on tough technology problems that can only be solved with a combination of scientific innovation and hard work.

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.
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 wide array 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.
