IMPEL

Our Mission IMPEL's mission is to promote equitable wellness and resilience in the built environment through the commercial advancement of net zero technologies. Technology commercialization is notoriously challenging in the building sector. Building tech investments often require long horizons that our planet does not have time for. Additionally, many new projects and businesses fall victim to ‘Valleys of Death’ during their early development stages. IMPEL equips early-stage innovators with technical and communication tools, so they can translate the premise and promise of new building technologies into the language of business. Uniquely embedded at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's Building Technologies Division, and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Building Technologies Office, IMPEL connects its Innovators to public and private sector pipelines, and a diverse network of investors, demonstration and technical experts, industry leaders, and policymakers to help our innovators reach their next milestone.
