Electric Innovation Forum at NYC Climate Week
The Electric Innovation Forum brings 150 bipartisan elected officials and community leaders together with executives from technology, finance, business, and philanthropy to shape the future of electrification in the United States.
This year's event focuses on topics key to scaling electrification, including transportation, large scale electrification, and state and local solutions to data centers, equity, and energy affordability. Built for relationship building and real world practicality, participants in this invitation-only event leave with the connections and actionable next steps needed to implement electrification solutions in communities across the country.
The Forum also lays the foundation for future collaboration, including the Initiative's innovation site tours connecting elected officials directly with electrification projects, funder connections, and inclusion in other high-level convenings hosted by EII and its partners.
Attendance is by invitation only. Invitations are non-transferable.
This event is organized by the Electric Innovation Initiative
