The '''Innovation Crossroads''' program, launched in May 2017 by the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), embeds innovators at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as part of the Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program (LEEP), supporting over 50 fellows across eight cohorts by 2025 who have raised more than $450 million in follow-on funding. With initial backing from EERE’s Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), CRI has nurtured startups like SkyNano Technologies, leveraging ORNL’s facilities such as the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility and Spallation Neutron Source.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://innovationcrossroads.ornl.gov |title=Innovation Crossroads |publisher=Oak Ridge National Laboratory}}</ref> Cohort 8 began in June 2024, and with applications for Cohort 9 open as of February 2025, it continues to drive DOE’s clean energy innovation agenda. | The '''Innovation Crossroads''' program, launched in May 2017 by the Department of Energy’s [[Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy]] (EERE), embeds innovators at [[Oak Ridge National Laboratory]] (ORNL) as part of the [[Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program]] (LEEP), supporting over 50 fellows across eight cohorts by 2025 who have raised more than $450 million in follow-on funding. | ||
