About the company 

The Massachusetts Climatetech Studio, a partnership between the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) and FedTech, helps entrepreneurs launch new climate technology ventures. The Climatetech Studio matches teams of entrepreneurs with cutting-edge technologies from federal and university labs during an intensive 16-week program cohort. Entrepreneurs work closely with expert coaches and advisors to assess the potential of their technologies and form strategies for successful commercialization. Each participant receives a $15,000 stipend and has the chance to win further prize money and grant funding. There is no cost to participate, no equity taken, and the program is designed to be flexible for those working full-time.

Founded in 2015 by Ben Solomon following his participation in the National Science Foundation’s I-Corps program, FedTech is dedicated to driving global transformation through Deep Tech innovations. The company’s mission is to harness cutting-edge technologies from federal laboratories, academic institutions, and industry leaders to address the world’s most pressing challenges. From renewable energy solutions to advanced healthcare technologies, the company is committed to creating a lasting impact by bringing groundbreaking innovations to market and empowering the next generation of tech pioneers.
