![The seven entrepreneurs for Cohort 2024](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2024-08/ICCohort2024.png?h=d1cb525d&itok=LtRT6jzo)
Seven entrepreneurs comprise the next cohort of Innovation Crossroads, a DOE Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program node based at ORNL. The program provides energy-related startup founders from across the nation with access to ORNL’s unique scientific resources and capabilities, as well as connect them with experts, mentors and networks to accelerate their efforts to take their world-changing ideas to the marketplace.
