We’re on a mission to decarbonize the globe, starting in Alaska.
We envision equitable, resilient, and prosperous communities rich in economic opportunities, sustainable systems, and clean energy.
How we work:
Founded in 2016 and based in Anchorage, Alaska, we’re a nonprofit focused on accelerating climate tech deployment to decarbonize systems of energy, transportation, and industry.
We accomplish this in a few different ways. Our Tech Deployment Track is an eight-month accelerator program designed to help companies forge partnerships and identify projects in Alaska. Successful Tech Deployment Track graduates are invited to join the Launch Alaska Portfolio, where we offer continued support and connections to project opportunities in Alaska. At the same time, our Deployment Team works with Alaska asset and infrastructure owners to facilitate new deployment projects around the state. Our policy and advocacy efforts focus on nonpartisan advocacy, engagement and action to reach policy solutions that accelerate the energy transition.
We cultivate partnerships to connect climate tech companies and customers, catalyze Alaska’s clean energy economy, and build a regenerative future for all.

Alaska and the Arctic have an incredibly important role in critical global conversations, and the development and deployment of climate solutions.
The challenges we face in Alaska represent some of the defining global issues of this century: climate change, a thawing and newly accessible Arctic, microgrids and decentralized energy, community resiliency, energy costs and access, ocean vitality, national security, and the transition from an outmoded economy to one suited for the future.

Accelerating the energy transition means decarbonizing systems of energy, transportation, and industry, so we’re looking for technologies that can reduce emissions in any of these three areas. EV charging infrastructure, long-duration energy storage solutions, electrified aviation equipment, microgrid management tools, and more — if your tech can help decarbonize our communities, we want to hear from you.
