We are pleased to announced our 2nd annual StorageX seed fund call. 

This year, the seed fund calls will help kick-off our two new StorageX consortia:  Circular Economy (C2E2) and Fast Charging (SaFC).  The research pillars for each of these consortia is described in the consortia white papers in the links below:
