Win up to $700K from the Department of Energy (DOE) for Robots to save energy

Join the MEP Advanced Technology Team (MATT) as we share how your organization can participate in the American-Made Buildings program to spur energy efficiency innovation in the built environment. Selected organizations receive CASH prizes and support from some of the world’s best pioneering maker spaces, dozens of energy incubators, universities, and 17 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories

As part of the American-Made Challenges series, the Envelope Retrofit Opportunities for Building Optimization Technologies (E-ROBOT) Prize is seeking innovative, hands-off solutions to retrofit existing residential and commercial structures. The task is not easy, but if it were, everyone would already be doing it.

There will be up to 10 winners of up to $200k in the first round, 4 of which will be eligible to win an additional $500k.

MATT member David McFeeters-Krone will moderate a webinar on this prize challenge, providing companies insight into the prize structure and requirements. Petra Mitchell of Catalyst Connection will join a panel of experts to discuss robotics' future in energy efficiency and manufacturing.

Join Us and Learn:

• Solutions requirements
• Mapping, retrofit, sensing, and inspection.
• The work itself should be minimally invasive, use safe materials, and of course, save oodles of energy.
• About the Prize Structure/Application Process

The application process is more straightforward than an SBIR, and David is an official connector for the program and can walk your through the process. David’s company Intellectual Assets is a certified connector for this prize and is eager to facilitate your applications.
