The 2019 green paper Unleashing American Innovation, produced through NIST's Return on Investment Initiative, contains 15 key findings to inform actions that will help to remove unwarranted impediments to innovation at the public-private sector interface and streamline and accelerate technology transfer.1 The paper contains a series of findings emphasizing the importance of user pull, including findings related to copyright of government software, expanded partnership mechanisms, and access to federal technologies, knowledge, and capabilities. Removing barriers to partnership is key to enhancing user pull because it creates a culture of openness and connectedness with the private sector, said Copan.

In conclusion, Copan stressed NIST's focus on innovation ecosystems in recognition that institutes, industry, and universities are part of a broader environment that can stimulate user pull through awareness, relationship, and participation in the venture investment process.

PAULA GANT Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy and Innovation, Gas Technology Institute Gant framed her remarks with the dual imperatives of decarbonizing energy systems while supplying the energy needed to support economic growth globally. DOE's mission has shifted, explained Gant, from a focus on optimizing supply and efficiency to one of accelerating clean and resilient energy systems.

Gant concluded that by deploying hydrogen, carbon-neutral fuels, and chemicals in ways that build on existing infrastructure and systems, the United States can reduce costs, lower risk, and provide pathways to economy-wide deep decarbonization that support growing economies worldwide. RICHARD KAUFFMAN Chairman, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority To begin, Kauffman described barriers to the adoption of innovative clean energy technology as mature markets served by entrenched competitors, high costs, and variable government policy.

NYSERDA applied these lessons to the development of the offshore wind industry. New York established a large end market opportunity within the state to attract industry, which in turn invested in enabling infrastructure, including bases, structural mechanisms, and port infrastructure.

DISCUSSION Following the speakers' remarks, Wong moderated a discussion session that covered crosscutting approaches, the role of standards, publicprivate collaboration, and reducing risk in the innovation cycle. Crosscutting Approach Wong asked the panelists for their thoughts on crosscutting efforts, such as DOE's Energy Storage Grand Challenge, and how DOE can institutionalize such activities.

and funding programmatic offices across DOE engaged in early-stage development. That work should leverage LPO's commercial project finance expertise and established rigorous validation approaches to technologies earlier in the development process.
