Go Make 2027: Advanced Carbon Materials with ExxonMobil
Runs a climatetech accelerator that pairs carbon-materials startups with ExxonMobil for validation and collaboration, including a needs-based stipend to support participation.
Go Make 2027 is run by Greentown Labs, the world's largest climatetech and energy startup incubator, as one of five sector-specific 'Greentown Go' tracks pairing startups with corporate partners -- this one focused on manufacturing, paired with ExxonMobil for advanced carbon materials. Startups apply online, and if selected work with ExxonMobil toward one of several possible collaboration outcomes…
Greentown Labs and ExxonMobil want startups at TRL 3 to 7 building advanced carbon materials -- from graphitic and non-graphitic carbons to carbon nanomaterials and diamond-based materials -- that unlock new performance in energy storage, industrial systems, transportation, aerospace, construction or filtration. Innovations must show a credible path to industrial-scale deployment and commercialization at a market-supported cost, not just a lab breakthrough.
