​🔥 What’s the must-attend event when the world is coming together for Houston Energy and Climate Week and Houston Energy and Climate Startup Week?

​Born Global Energy & Climate Forum

​🌎 🌍 🌏 Around the World in 80 Minutes 🌏🌍🌎

​Join the Born Global Energy & Climate Forum—a curated experience where every guest is invited to the table, not just seated in the audience. From investors and diplomats to startup founders and innovators, this is your chance to make real connections, spark global collaborations, and find the right people who move the needle.

​🗓️ Wednesday Sept 17 at 6pm
📍The Cannon Community in the Energy Corridor

​Right here in Houston —

​⚡ the Energy Capital of the World
🤝 the #1 Most Diverse City in the U.S.
💸 and the #1 U.S. City for Foreign Business

​The Forum evening brings together a hand-selected group of investors, diplomats, startup founders, government agencies, corporate executives, academic leaders for a curated experience that blends high-impact dialogue with meaningful connection. Hosted in a unique setting, this is your gateway to international collaboration, real-time problem solving, and visibility among strategic global partners.

​🧠 Rotating discussion circles
🤝 Global open networking
🍷 Italian wine & light refreshments

​This isn’t your typical sit-down event or traditional mixer. This is a mastermind-style forum where everyone will be engaging. From Asia-Pacific to Africa, from Europe to the Americas, every table brings new voices, fresh insights, climate solutions, investment opportunities, and opportunities for cross-border collaboration.

Attendees will participate in small-group discussions using a “hot seat” format: each guest will share a challenge, idea, or initiative, and receive direct insights, connections, and support from peers across sectors and regions. After the forum, guests are invited to continue conversations over premium Italian wines and light fare.

​You’ll be moving, connecting, and engaging -- rotating through global discussion circles with diplomats, investors, entrepreneurs, and ecosystem leaders from every continent.

​Come and experience global innovation in motion! This one-of-a-kind forum unites regional expertise with forward-thinking ideas to spark meaningful global dialogue and action.
