Our mission:

To leverage the technical capabilities of the intellectual assets of Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory in order to provide competitive advantage to established and to-be-established  energy related industry  and services in Long Island, and New York State.

Our goal is to make New York a global leader in the technologies that will accelerate the progress of renewable energy as one of the mainstream resources displacing fossil fuel-based electric power worldwide by facilitating the integration of renewable sources into the electric grid.

We promote industry growth in New York in both thrusts by supporting industry collaborations with university experts in the following thrust domains:
