The primary intent of the MassCEC Catalyst Program Awards is to stimulate the commercialization of clean energy technologies developed in the Commonwealth. Awarded funds are used to demonstrate the feasibility of technologies in specific industry applications in order to obtain increased industry and investor interest. Up to five awards will be granted.

Additionally, under the Catalyst Water Challenge, MassCEC will provide funding and technical support for projects at the water-energy nexus that deploy water innovation technologies or innovative combinations of existing technologies. Up to two additional awards in the amount of $65,000 each will be given for promising clean water projects.

Applicants must be either:

• Principal Investigator (PI) at a Massachusetts-based nonprofit research institution
• Massachusetts-based early-stage clean energy or water tech company with no more than $1 million in combined financing, grant funding, and revenues and have four or fewer full-time equivalent employees
• Student groups are welcome to apply with some restrictions (outlined in the guidelines)
