Driving regional innovation and job creation

We help startups in Ohio and Appalachia solve today’s energy challenges and identify solutions for a more resilient tomorrow. Working with our partners including Jumpstart, Inc. and Ohio Third Frontier, we aim to establish the region as a national leader in energy technology.

BRITE People + BRITE Labs = BRITE Future

The BRITE Energy Labs houses a suite of equipment for testing. We provide testing equipment and services related to energy storage devices and systems and can either test your device for you or assist you in setting up and conducting tests yourself. Flexibility allows that your testing can be conducted using your own protocols, or our experts are available to help you develop procedures to fit your application needs.
