Arun Majumdar, ARPA-E's Director, gave the Keynote speech at the third annual ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit, where key players from across the energy ecosystem came together to share ideas for developing and deploying the next generation of clean energy technologies. Although over 180 companies and universities have received ARPA-E grants, Majumdar highlighted eight companies currently developing disruptive technologies that, if successful, could create entirely new industries, ranging from advanced biofuels and lithium-ion batteries to grid storage and carbon capture.
