The Venture Center on Monday (July 14) in El Dorado launched the Arkansas Lithium Technology Accelerator (ALTA) — the first U.S.-based accelerator dedicated to lithium and battery supply chain innovation.
The three-week program connects hand-picked energy technology startups with Arkansas-based lithium producers such as Standard Lithium, alongside academic, government and economic development partners. ALTA is designed to position Arkansas as the epicenter of lithium technology innovation, while advancing U.S. leadership in battery supply chain solutions and accelerating commercial deployment of next-generation energy technologies.
