Breakthrough Energy Fellows is a global fellowship program backed by Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy that supports scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs developing clean energy solutions across multiple pathways: Innovator Fellows (up to $500k investment), Business Fellows (commercialization support), and Explorer Fellows ($50k-$150k research funding). The program targets technologies at TRL 1-4 stages and has recently celebrated its 100th fellow. Participants receive catalytic early-stage investment, lab-to-market support, and access to a global network of climate innovators.
