Meet the 2022 Tech Deployment Track Cohort
We’re excited to announce the selection of 13 innovative companies for our 2022-2023 Tech Deployment Track.
This latest cohort will help us continue connecting globally scalable solutions to Alaska’s complex climate challenges.
While participating in the Tech Deployment Track, our eight-month accelerator program, these companies will work to deploy projects focused on decarbonization of Alaska’s energy, transportation and industry sectors. Companies that show significant progress toward developing projects will be invited to join Launch Alaska’s portfolio at the end of the program. Portfolio companies continue to work with Launch Alaska staff and partners to ensure projects are completed in Alaska.
This year marked one of the most competitive cohort selection years in the history of the program, with startups bringing the most innovative and developed technologies the program has ever seen. The 13 selected companies span a variety of technologies in energy, transportation, and industry, from geothermal power to zero emissions aviation to kelp farming. Nine companies are from the US and four are from outside of the US. Of the companies, more than 50 percent have a diverse founding/executive team.
The companies will visit Anchorage in the fall for the kick-off of the program Sept. 26. For the first time since 2019, the program will be held in person at the Anchorage Museum.
