Chain Reaction Innovations was created at Argonne National Laboratory to address the critical national need to accelerate the applied research, development and deployment of physical-science based technologies (e.g., materials and manufacturing) capable of transforming the nation's energy systems.  Chain Reaction Innovations is an energy materials and manufacturing innovation program that serves as a platform for supporting and mentoring entrepreneurial researchers whose early-stage innovations are too challenging or technically uncertain to pursue in a venture capital-financed startup. Chain Reaction Innovations embeds innovators within a National Laboratory technology eco-system for up to two-years, working with innovators as they advance their early stage scientific discoveries to potentially commercialize-able opportunities within a discrete time period, enabling the translation of high-impact materials and manufacturing technologies through entrepreneurial mentorship and cooperative research and development.
