ARPA-E MissionMission: To overcome long-term and high-risk technological barriers in the development of energy technologies
2
Means: ‣ Identify and promote revolutionary advances in fundamental and applied
sciences‣ Translate scientific discoveries and cutting-edge inventions into technological
innovations ‣ Accelerate transformational technological advances in areas that industry by
itself is not likely to undertake because of technical and financial uncertainty
Built on DARPA foundation, but with key differences…
