Future Energy is a series of events that connects entrepreneurs, researchers, and private investors in the energy and clean-tech industries to develop and commercialize radical solutions to the world?s energy challenges.

Boston Event: Monday, September 10 Application Deadline: Friday, August 17

The format at Future Energy is identical to our typical Investor Feedback Forum events, but all the startups and investors are in energy technology.

The Problem

Step change in Energy demand ? In coming decades, the world will need huge amounts of energy to support population and economic growth and improve standards of living. We expect the global demand for energy will double by 2050.
Supply will struggle to keep pace ? Energy supply from all sources will struggle to keep up with demand. There will be continued dependence on fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal and we will also need rapid growth in renewables.
Environmental stresses are increasing ? Energy needs to be produced in environmentally and socially responsible ways. Environmental stresses from producing and using energy are increasing. There is an urgent need for low carbon technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Solution

Conventional oil and gas exploration, recovery, and extraction
Non-conventional oil and gas
Alternative and renewable energy (solar, wind, hydrogen, biofuels, geothermal, etc.)
Renewable and bio-based chemicals
Mobility / smart mobility
Energy efficiency / smart grid
Energy finance and trading
