NLR Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (IEC)

The NLR Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (IEC) helps turn economically viable advanced energy innovations into competitive, real-world solutions. We connect innovators with the resources, expertise, and entrepreneurial network needed to transform early-stage ideas into market-ready products. By giving innovators direct access to NLR’s world-class capabilities and a collaborative network of startups, investors, and industry leaders, we break down barriers, reduce risk, and accelerate the path from concept to commercialization.
