Summary
This 2017 policy report by Hart and Kearney, published by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, examines the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) as a catalyst for U.S. energy innovation. The paper appears to analyse ARPA-E's institutional structure, funding strategies and track record in advancing transformative energy technologies. As suggested by the title, the report positions ARPA-E as a versatile instrument within the broader U.S. innovation ecosystem.
UK applicability
The findings on ARPA-E's organisational model and portfolio approach to high-risk energy research may inform UK policy discussions on innovation funding structures. However, direct applicability depends on the UK's existing mechanisms (such as UK Research and Innovation) and priorities in energy innovation governance.
Key measures
Agency portfolio composition, funding mechanisms, technology outcomes, innovation metrics
Outcomes reported
The report examines ARPA-E's mandate, programmes and impact on U.S. energy innovation. It likely assesses the agency's effectiveness in funding high-risk, high-reward energy research and development.
