About
Innovation Days at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will bring together both emerging and established companies supporting the clean energy sector as well as DOE program sponsors, ORNL scientists and engineers, and MDF innovation partners to discuss clean energy R&D challenges and opportunities.
The event will showcase the MDF innovation ecosystem and provide stakeholders information on how to leverage these assets to accelerate clean energy innovation, strengthen domestic manufacturing supply chains, and increase U.S. manufacturing competitiveness.
MDF is supported by the U.S. DOE Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office.
