The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) American-Made program transforms innovative ideas into real energy solutions to make energy more reliable, secure, and affordable. It activates innovators, entrepreneurs, and everyday Americans to help science and technology solutions go further, faster.

Since 2018, American-Made has connected participants with top researchers, government funding, and national lab resources to more rapidly overcome market barriers, develop energy technologies, and build economic opportunities across the United States. More than 1,200 teams in 100+ prizes have earned funding for their groundbreaking concepts and technologies. 

American-Made is funded by DOE and administered by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
