Powering the Next Century | Inaugural DC Deep Tech Week
Energy is no longer just an economic issue. It is the foundation of national power.
The race to build the future is a race to generate, secure, and deploy energy at an unprecedented scale. AI and hyperscale data centers are driving explosive demand for electricity. Critical mineral supply chains have become geopolitical battlegrounds. Nuclear energy is reemerging as a strategic industry. Directed-energy weapons and space-based power are redefining the technological frontier.
The countries that master this new energy landscape will shape the next century.
As part of the main stage programming during the inaugural DC Deep Tech Week, join us for a panel discussion and happy hour exploring where the future of national power is being built.
