The SCALEUP Ready program funds projects that scale promising energy technologies previously supported by ARPA-E. It focuses on translating bench-scale results to commercially scalable versions, integrating technologies into broader systems, providing extended performance data, and validating manufacturability and reliability. This funding addresses the critical gap between early-stage transformational research and commercial deployment, aiming to accelerate disruptive energy technologies with high technical and financial risk.
Eligibility is unrestricted and open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications in the full announcement. Applicants must register and submit through ARPA-E eXCHANGE.
