Launch Alaska exists to catalyze rapid innovation that strengthens energy, transportation, and industrial systems.

We cultivate partnerships to build prosperous and resilient communities rich in economic opportunities and sustainable systems.

To do this, we’ve set a big goal: We’re working to support deployment of $1 billion in energy, transportation, and industrial tech projects by 2030.

Every year, we recruit game-changing tech startups to participate in our eight-month deployment accelerator program. Throughout the course of the program, we help these cohort companies build connections with potential customers in communities around the state. Together, they work to deploy technologies that reduce costs, decrease emissions, create jobs, and unlock vast economic opportunities for Alaskans and the companies that do business here.

So far, this cycle has enabled us to support nearly half a billion dollars in total economic impact.

We work all over Alaska. While our team is primarily based in Anchorage, we support deployment projects in communities across the state, from Juneau to Fairbanks to Kotzebue to Kivalina. And we recruit tech startups from Alaska and beyond. The Launch Alaska Portfolio supports companies from around the U.S. and the globe, giving us the ability to connect Alaska communities with world-class energy, transportation, and industrial technologies.

The Launch Alaska Portfolio is comprised of companies who successfully complete our deployment accelerator program. As of 2025, those 45 companies include some of the world’s most innovative energy, transportation, and industry technology startups. Learn more here >
