Guiding "What to Build, Where to Innovate, and How to Invest"

Overcoming economic uncertainties of emerging energy technologies to unlock strategic investments & innovations

STEER is an initiative at Stanford focused on guiding "what to Build, where to Innovate, and how to Invest"

Trillions of dollars need to be deployed towards reshaping the energy landscape so it can be more sustainable, affordable, and secure. Technological innovation and competitiveness are at the heart of this revolution. However, the biggest impediment to capital deployment are the uncertainties around the future economics of emerging technologies.

STEER is overcoming those uncertainties to unlock strategic investments and innovations.
