The event will foster collaboration between the leaders at the forefront of the industry today and those who will shape the industry in the future.

Fortifying the Future

The US has aging energy and grid infrastructure at a time when energy demand has never been higher. New projects can take years to build and generate electricity on the grid. Clean tech companies find it increasingly difficult to bridge the financing gap to scale to maturity.

Our conference will look at how the energy and climate industry is adapting to become resilient to changing capital markets, policy changes, and consumer demands. Companies are fortifying physical infrastructure, developing fluency in navigating complex state, local, and federal policies, and building their capital stacks creatively.
