The Foundation for Energy Security and Innovation (FESI)

Foundation CEO Rick Stockburger recently visited the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), seeing firsthand its significant contributions to U.S. #energysecurity. PPPL’s cutting-edge fusion and plasma research, paired with the expertise of its researchers, technicians, and collaborative partners underscores the importance of energy innovation for long-term solutions. "America’s DOE Labs have some of the smartest people working behind the scenes on some of the biggest challenges facing our country.” Rick shared.  “I left my visit to Princeton feeling that much safer - and confident - that the U.S. is in their capable, and passionate, hands." We look forward to working alongside institutions like PPPL to learn more, and support technologies shaping America’s energy future. #FESI #EnergyInnovation #FusionEnergy

The Foundation for Energy Security and Innovation and CEO Rick Stockburger co-hosted a roundtable alongside U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright to discuss advancing AI and energy infrastructure with leaders from across the industry.  As the official nonprofit partner of the DOE, the Foundation serves as a conduit between the private sector, energy researchers, and funders to help accelerate the commercialization of energy technologies. We are committed to helping drive innovation and advancing new technologies that support long-term, American-led energy solutions. #FESI #AI #DOE

Happy #ManufacturingDay! From labs to factory floors, American manufacturing powers our economy and strengthens national security. FESI works alongside DOE and partners to help ensure that innovative energy technologies are not only discovered but also made here in the United States.

This Friday is Manufacturing Day, a nationwide celebration of American manufacturing. At FESI, we know that advancing energy technologies goes hand in hand with strengthening supply chains, creating jobs, and ensuring national resilience. Stay tuned as we spotlight how commercialization and manufacturing drive U.S. competitiveness.

FESI was honored to collaborate with DOE Office of Technology Commercialization on the Spring 2025 EPIC Pitch Competition, where innovators pitched groundbreaking ideas to accelerate commercialization. From cutting-edge storage to next-generation materials, the competition showcased how American ingenuity drives progress and strengthens energy security. More on EPIC: https://lnkd.in/esGe9cfB 

Since stepping into his role as FESI’s first CEO earlier this summer, Rick Stockburger has been working to build partnerships that translate innovation into real-world results. His leadership is already helping FESI unlock new opportunities for collaboration with U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), industry, and philanthropy. We’re excited to share more of this progress in the months ahead. Read the announcement: https://lnkd.in/emvkJwZz 

The Foundation for Energy Security and Innovation (FESI) was created to help the U.S. move breakthrough technologies from discovery to deployment. As an independent, congressionally authorized foundation, FESI partners with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to strengthen energy security, accelerate commercialization, and advance American competitiveness.

Tomorrow, FESI CEO Rick Stockburger is speaking at the National Conservative Energy Summit, joining leaders to discuss the future of American energy, innovation, and security. He will sit down with moderator Tyler Duvelius for a keynote titled, "From the Heartland to the Beltway: How American Innovation Will Solve Our Energy Challenges." As the nation’s first congressionally authorized, agency-related foundation, FESI partners with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to accelerate commercialization and strengthen America’s energy security. We’re proud to be part of this important conversation.
