CleanStart Perspectives on EPIC Funding from the CA Energy Commission
May 18, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 9:30 am
The California Energy Commission’s Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) program invests in scientific and technological research to accelerate the transformation of the electricity sector to meet the state’s energy and climate goals. Join us as we chat with Erik Stokes about how companies can connect with the CEC and take part in the future of Epic Funding.
Erik Stokes is the head of the Energy Deployment and Market Facilitation Office at the California Energy Commission. In his 13+ years at the Commission, Erik has spearheaded numerous initiatives to advance low-carbon technology solutions. Over the past five years, Erik has worked to strengthen California’s innovation ecosystem for cleantech entrepreneurship. This included establishing a statewide network of incubator/accelerator programs, testing facilities and other entrepreneurial support services; as well as developing several non-dilutive funding programs for clean energy entrepreneurs including the world-renowned CalSEED program. These efforts have helped cleantech startups supported by the California Energy Commission attract over $1.8 billion in private investment.
CleanStart Perspectives are short online conversations to connect the greater Sacramento clean tech entrepreneurship community and share insights, experiences, and outlooks. Join us as we welcome our featured guests to share their perspective on what entrepreneurs and innovators can do to thrive and grow.
