Work With Us
The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center helps bring competitive innovations to market.

It takes an ecosystem—startups, investors, corporate and industry partners, foundations, and organizations such as incubators, accelerators, and universities—leveraging the capabilities at NLR and other national labs. The good news: the ecosystem is growing, and we invite you to contact us.
Startups
We connect you with our ecosystem, starting with our Channel Partners aligned with your region or specialty. They can refer you to relevant incubators and accelerators. Seeking capital? Sign up for updates on funding opportunities and resources. We can also connect you with opportunities to present to potential investors.
Investors
We can share information about our portfolios, our Investor Advisory Board and investment community, emerging technologies, and NLR.
Partners
Learn about our portfolio of startups and how we can help tailor opportunities and solutions to support your goals and strategies while highlighting your leadership in the field. Reach out to explore options for customized cohorts, programs, and events aligned with your priorities.
Incubators, Accelerators, and Universities
We work with a network of more than 60 incubators, accelerators, and universities to support our programs. These relationships enable us to connect startups with the support they need.
