Massachusetts Clean Energy Technology Center (MassCEC) funds early-stage and pilot-stage clean energy and climatetech innovations that accelerate decarbonization and grow Massachusetts’ clean-energy economy. They prioritize Massachusetts-based teams or projects that will be deployed in/for Massachusetts, supporting technology commercialization (prototype validation through pilot/demonstration) and workforce/equity initiatives tied to the cleantech ecosystem. MassCEC runs structured grant programs (notably Catalyst/DICES for very early R&D and InnovateMass for pilots) and often requires technical milestones and cost-sharing for larger awards.
Program-driven, non-dilutive grants distributed through recurring competitive windows: Catalyst/DICES (early-stage grants up to ~$75,000; ~twice yearly) and InnovateMass (tech-to-market/pilot awards up to $350,000; rolling on a trimester schedule). Awards typically require milestone tracking and may require applicant cost-share; applications are competitive and program-specific rather than open multi-year unrestricted grants.

Target the program that matches your TRL (Catalyst/DICES for prototype-stage, InnovateMass for pilots). Ensure the project will be deployed in or benefit Massachusetts and be prepared to show technical milestones, a budget with cost-share if requested, and a commercialization plan. Note deadlines: Catalyst/DICES windows ~twice/year; InnovateMass accepts applications on three rolling cycles per year—check program pages for exact dates—and contact MassCEC staff early with questions.
