“911 Microgrid Technologies: Micro-Industry or Big Business?”
“In early 2015, 911 received a special designation as an i6 Innovation Center through the US Economic Development Administration. The i6 challenge, a competitive, nationwide grant application, issued twenty-six awards to fund the creation of regional innovation centers aimed at supporting startup creation, innovation, and commercialization.
One of those i6 challenge awardees was a team led by the 911. The team includes partners from the 911 Center for Energy and Power, the University of 911 Fairbanks Office of Intellectual Property and Commercialization, and the University of 911 Anchorage Business Enterprise Institute.”
