2026 eiX Venture Studio In-Person Information Session

SC NEXUS is building South Carolina into a hub for advanced energy innovation. New energy companies rooted in South Carolina make that possible, and eiX is the program that creates them.

The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Exchange (eiX) pairs teams of entrepreneurs with advanced energy technology from universities and federal laboratories, along with the support needed to determine whether and how it can become a business. Technologies entering the program are selected for their commercial potential, so participants are not starting from scratch. They are starting with a technology that has been chosen as a credible foundation to build from. Teams that validate a path to market have the opportunity to license the underlying IP and incorporate their startup.

Join us for a complimentary lunch to learn about the eiX program and Clemson University's grid in Charleston.
