46 science entrepreneurs were invited to join the Activate Cohort 2023. The fellows are turning their breakthroughs into businesses that could help industries, including manufacturing, energy, chemicals, computing, and agriculture, meet decarbonization and resiliency goals. "The Activate Fellows in Cohort 2023 represent our largest cohort so far,” says Activate’s interim CEO, Todd Johnson. “When we look at the breadth and scope of these brilliant scientific minds, engaging to find solutions in energy, sustainability, chemistry, computing, and more, we can’t help but be encouraged and optimistic about the future.”
Andrade and Maharry join Activate Anywhere. The Activate Anywhere Community recognizes that every U.S. region is home to scientists and engineers with a vision for solving big problems and that talent is equally distributed, but opportunity is not. The 12 new fellows in this community are located in eight U.S. cities, including Graham, NC, West Lafayette, IN, and Los Alamos, NM. They are commercializing breakthrough research in everything from a carbon dioxide removal system powered by light to computer vision and machine learning algorithms to understand cattle personalities to AI methods for complex remote sensing data that enable organizations to measure their environmental footprint at scale and automatically.
