AI & Energy Sector Pitch Day
May 21, 2026 @ 1:00 pm – 6:30 pm CT

About the Event
Artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of the global economy, and the energy sector is feeling the impact first and fastest. We are witnessing a unique duality: AI is simultaneously a massive new burden on our energy infrastructure and the most powerful tool we have to optimize it.
This Sector Pitch Day is designed to explore both sides of that coin: Join Greentown Labs and IMPEL for AI & Energy Sector Pitch Day. This event will bring both sides of this coin into focus, spotlighting startups whose solutions are either powering the AI boom or using AI to create a more abundant, affordable, and secure energy future. This event is designed for innovators, industry leaders, investors, and policymakers to identify investable opportunities and forge high-impact partnerships across these interconnected domains.
