IMPEL: Incubating Market-Propelled Entrepreneurial Mindset at the Labs and Beyond
IMPEL is a technology commercialization program funded by the Department of Energy's Building Technologies Office. We are based at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
At our core, we're dedicated to accelerating the commercialization of innovative technologies that will drive America toward economic growth through new manufacturing facilities and jobs, energy efficiency and reliability, and reduced energy costs. Since its 2019 inception, IMPEL has become a case study for powerful public-private collaboration through our mission of connecting innovators with technical experts, industry leaders, and investors.
For more on IMPEL's work exploring critical barriers to market adoption and scaling climate tech innovations, see "From IMPEL to Impact: Lessons Learned in Accelerating Innovative Building Technologies" (Singh, R., Jain, Y., Wong, L., Weigel, M., and Ryan, N., 2024).
