The Energy Venture Day and Pitch Competition features pitches from more than 40 energy ventures driving efficiency and advancements toward the energy transition. The fast-paced competition is designed to connect energy startups with venture capitalists, corporate innovation groups, industry leaders, academics, and service providers.

The Energy Venture Day and Pitch Competition will showcase ventures across three industry tracks, spanning materials to clean energy. Industry experts and investors will judge the pitches, and the top three ventures from each track will be named at the conclusion of the event.

Following pitches from energy ventures will be a collegiate track, the TEX-E pitch competition, highlighting the innovations of five Texas student-led energy startups. With mentorship leading up to the competition, these student startups will compete for cash prizes.
