About the Company

IMPEL+ is a Department of Energy tech-to-market program focused on building technologies, funded by the Building Technologies Office and implemented by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. IMPEL+ helps early-stage innovators translate the premise and promise of their work into the language of business, boosting their chances of bringing their buildings technologies to market. IMPEL+ stands for Incubating Market-Propelled Entrepreneurial Mindsets at the Labs and Beyond. Participants are buildings technologies and program Innovators from business, academia, and DOE’s National Labs. At the end of each IMPEL+  Workshop, Innovators will have developed well-formulated pitches with effective value propositions to non-technical audiences. This drives their building programs and technologies towards public or private sector engagement and funds and market impact. IMPEL+ Coaches help Innovators develop a refined roadmap for their projects by providing a deeper understanding of market factors. Following participation in the IMPEL+ workshops, Innovators will be eligible for two types of tech-to-market pipelines in which additional pitching and mentoring opportunities are offered through IMPEL’s Partner Organizations.
