Friends of Greentown Labs,

Greentown Go Make 2027: Advanced Carbon Materials—an open-innovation program with one of the world’s largest energy and chemicals companies—is accepting startup applications through October 9!

This program is advancing industrial transformation by accelerating carbon material innovations.

WHY ADVANCED CARBON MATERIALS?

Advanced carbon materials sit at the center of modern industry—enabling lightweighting in transportation and aerospace, enhancing energy storage for renewables, and replacing energy-intensive traditional materials across sectors.

As industries face more demanding performance, cost, and durability requirements, materials innovation is becoming a primary driver of industrial transformation.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

This program is seeking startups developing innovative carbon materials that unlock new capabilities through changes in material structure, novel processing chemistries, or the use of abundant, cost-advantaged feedstocks.

This includes innovators who:

Achieve breakthroughs in manufacturing pathways,
Enhance carbon material properties,
Make transformative improvements to existing carbon systems, or
Develop entirely new classes of carbon materials

These innovations must deliver measurable gains in performance, reliability, and scalability—all at a market-supported production cost for end markets and applications such as energy storage, industrial systems, power transmission, transportation, buildings and infrastructure, and industrial filtration.
