About the Event

Our Investment Showcase & Pilot Camp Events brings together high-potential energy, industrial, and deep-tech ventures, active investors, and corporate innovation teams for a full day of curated meetings, pilot exploration, and collaboration.

Our goal remains consistent: to accelerate investment readiness, commercial validation, and deployment opportunities across the energy transition ecosystem.

The day is structured to help ventures gain both investor exposure and corporate engagement — with the flexibility to join the morning Investor 1:1s, the afternoon Pilot Camp, or the full-day program.

With 350+ tech funds attending annually, 400+ investor meetings, and a 55,000+ person global community, our events have become a cornerstone of the energy, industrial and deep-tech investment calendar. Startups we’ve showcased have gone on to raise more than $600M, accelerating climate solutions with real-world impact.
