Montana’s small businesses focused on clean energy can now have access to technical expertise at national labs – including Idaho National Lab (INL).

The Department of Energy is launching a new program called the Small Business Voucher pilot that will give small businesses focused on clean energy access to technical expertise at national labs – including Idaho National Lab (INL).

If a business or individual is interested or has questions I have the contact for INL and they can contact me. Thanks!

Each year, small businesses prove themselves
the backbone of the US economy. They currently
provide about two-thirds of all jobs, create almost
65% of new jobs, and account for nearly half of
the non-farm GDP. Further, these small businesses
are generating new products, technologies and
ideas that are essential to future prosperity.

To overcome the technical challenges inherent
in bringing innovations to market, a new initiative
will help clean energy small businesses connect
with national laboratories, America’s science and
technology powerhouses.
