Abstract
Today’s would-be innovators have an especially tough row to hoe. Severely constrained by tiny budgets and limited access to research resources, leave their ideas to wither, if not die, on the vine. So how can a place like Argonne National Laboratory, with
its multi-disciplinary roster of researchers and big, powerful scientific machines, help the current crop of innovative energy entrepreneurs to succeed? Join us as John Carlisle, former physicist and current director of Argonne’s Chain Reaction Innovations program, discusses how the lab has opened its doors to support and train innovators to help drive new energy technologies into applications.
