Through the Lab Embedded Entrepreneurship Program (LEEP), the Office of Electricity (OE) is thrilled to sponsor two new promising entrepreneurs with game-changing energy storage and electric grid innovations. LEEP recruits the best and brightest minds from across the energy sector and embeds them at the national labs for two years to help bring their early-stage energy technologies to market. LEEP also gives fellows entrepreneurship training and a networking ecosystem to navigate the hurdles traditionally faced by early-stage tech startups.
