WASHINGTON—The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced the launch of the Genesis Mission Consortium, a historic public-private partnership advancing the Department’s Genesis Mission to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate scientific discovery, strengthen national security, and ensure America leads in energy and emerging technologies.
Building on President Trump’s Executive Orders Launching The Genesis Mission and Removing Barriers to American Leadership In Artificial Intelligence, the consortium brings together technical capabilities and expertise from the Department of Energy, National Laboratories, private sector leaders, and academic institutions to usher in a new era of science and technology exploration.
“The Genesis Mission Consortium represents a bold step toward transforming the way we approach scientific challenges,” said DOE Under Secretary for Science and Genesis Mission Lead Dr. Darío Gil. “Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we’re uniting government, industry, and academia to create a powerful engine for innovation that will drive breakthroughs across multiple disciplines.”
The consortium will help identify high-value partnerships among its members and external stakeholders, strengthening collaborative responses to funding opportunities. It will amplify DOE’s outreach by promoting solicitations, executing agreements, and tracking project successes. Functioning as a collaborative hub, the consortium will serve as a single, coordinated access point for members and their resources.
To advance technical priorities, the consortium will facilitate member-driven working groups focused on AI model development and validation, data integration and standards, high-performance computing and cloud infrastructure, and robotics and automation. These working groups will provide an efficient mechanism for engaging industry and academic organizations in co-creation efforts.
The Genesis Mission Consortium will also host regular events, including annual member meetings, workshops, and technology showcases, providing members with high-impact networking and collaboration opportunities.
The consortium will be administered by TechWerx, a DOE partnership intermediary operated by RTI International. For more information on the Genesis Mission Consortium and how to get involved, visit www.genesismissionconsortium.org.
