Activate Communities
Activate Anywhere
In every part of the U.S., talented scientists and engineers are eager to launch their entrepreneurial journeys. Activate Anywhere is a community of connected but not co-located fellows. Fellows work in their local innovation ecosystem, plugged into Activate’s national network of mentorship, education, community, and other resources they need to succeed.
Activate Berkeley
Activate Berkeley provides access to an unmatched research and innovation ecosystem. Since 2015, Activate has partnered with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Cyclotron Road program to support fellows accelerating the clean energy transition and pushing the boundaries of advanced computing. Activate’s partnership with the University of California, Berkeley gives fellows access to a deep well of additional research and laboratory resources.
Activate Boston
Activate Boston sits in the heart of a world-renowned innovation hub, a nexus for cutting-edge research from defense to energy to biotech. We work with Boston-area research organizations, including U Mass Boston’s Venture Development Center and Greentown Labs, to support fellows developing energy and climate technologies.
Activate Houston
Houston is the heart of the global energy industry, and the city is moving fast to become the energy transition capital of the world. Deep in the heart of Texas exist the educational institutions, people, companies, and spirit to drive new energy innovations that will lead us into the future. Our newest community is ready to be populated by the scientists and engineers who will benefit from the Activate Fellowship, and we couldn’t be more excited to branch out into this exciting ecosystem!
Activate New York
In launching our Activate New York Community, we are collaborating with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and Columbia University to forge New York State’s Carbontech Development Initiative and provide entrepreneurs with the resources, training, and global network needed to build and scale carbon tech innovations.
