About the Event
On the morning of September 15th, as part of Houston Energy and Climate Startup Week, this Energy Connect event provides a unique gathering of the minds driving the future of the energy transition.
Hosted by Global Corporate Venturing and Chevron Technology Ventures in collaboration with the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship and Greentown Labs, the GCV Energy Connect event offers a rare opportunity for compelling insights from prominent strategic and corporate investors into the shifting landscape of global energy investment.
Through curated panel discussions and roundtables, senior leadership representatives from global energy funds will peel back the curtain on today’s critical funding challenges, emerging investment priorities, and the complex pathways to the future energy ecosystem.
This morning is not just about passive listening — it’s an active collaboration space and a wonderful chance to plug into core conversations shaping the energy sector and network with global decision makers. The event is primarily for investors. A select number of representatives of venture-funded companies are invited, chosen by the attending investors., drinks, and food with Houston’s bright carbontech, energytech, and climatetech ecosystems.
