New Orleans
Newlab New Orleans is a launchpad for the next chapter of critical technology in the Gulf South. We're launching a platform for startups working in carbon management, clean hydrogen, and resilient infrastructure to scale where energy and industry converge.
In partnership with regional leaders, research institutions, and global energy players, Newlab New Orleans connects founders with the infrastructure, capital, and real-world projects needed to decarbonize heavy industry and reindustrialize the region with purpose.
Newlab will break ground on a purpose-built facility for startups that require specialized infrastructure, prototyping facilities, capital, and space to reach market.
Supporting first-of-a-kind projects with regional industry, academic and infrastructure partners, to de-risk growth and scaling.
Facilitated access to direct investment, venture capital network and non-dilutive funding from formation to growth stages.
Critical mass for critical technologies.
Join the community of founders hellbent on shaping our future industrial economy.
With access to world-class prototyping labs, industry pilot opportunities, and a network of likeminded builders across our locations, you’ll find the resources and relationships to turn hard problems into commercial outcomes.
Built at the Naval Support Activity (NSA) site, Newlab New Orleans will be a space for startups to pre-commission, build, fabricate, and deploy critical innovations for pilot and demonstration purposes.
The hub will include access to world class prototyping and fabrication facilities run by a dedicated team of Product Realization Experts.
