Early stage technologies hit the road for 2019 Innovation Summit

From July 8^th-10^th, Sandia National Laboratories staff and researchers will be available at the 2019 ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit in Denver, Colorado to discuss new and innovative energy-related technologies as well as technologies that have potential commercialization opportunities.

The event assembles experts from diverse technical disciplines and professional communities, aimed at moving transformational energy technologies out of the lab and into the market. The event includes ARPA-E’s popular showcase, where attendees can see, interact with, and experience ARPA-E technologies.
