Electrifying the American economy for the 21st century.
America was built on innovation. Today electrification is one of the most powerful levers we have to supercharge the American economy for the 21st century - and it’s ready to go. With today’s technology, we can already electrify nearly everything: cars, buses, homes, factories, construction and even farm equipment. And doing so lowers bills, powers economic growth, boosts public health and cuts pollution.
More than 25 million new jobs could be created by the electrification transition
Households can save up to $1,800/year by switching to electric appliances and vehicles
42% of U.S. energy pollution comes from machines that can be electrified today
America’s greatest economic competitors are already electrifying fast and capturing more of the marketplace
Every sector - from public safety to residential construction to heavy industry and transportation is a candidate for innovation
Innovation enabled America to build the world’s strongest economy in the 20th century. But this isn’t just about keeping the American economy competitive in the 21st century. It’s about creating healthier communities, building modern infrastructure, and shifting what people believe is already possible today.
We’re looking for the next generation of innovative electrification breakthroughs—bold projects, policies, tools, and business models that bring electric solutions to new places, new people, and new problems.
The Electric Innovation Initiative exists to highlight, celebrate, and scale this work—by connecting innovation with policy-making, and storytelling with systems change.
The Electric Innovation Awards spotlights innovative leaders and models that can scale—then connects them to partners who help accelerate progress.
We amplify breakthrough projects through cinematic media and trusted networks—showing how innovative electrification is common-sense, job-creating, cost-saving, and politically winnable.
Accelerating innovation requires supportive policy. We turn bold ideas into political momentum by connecting legislators, mayors, and agency leaders from all 50 states with the frontlines of electrification—bus depots, factories, housing retrofits, startups, community solar hubs, and battery projects. This makes the future real and drives action today.
