The Energy Innovators Network was founded in 2023 to produce the Energy Innovation Summit and related online programming. Our Mission is to accelerate the pivot away from fossil fuels by facilitating alliances of like-minded people in a creative and collaborative environment.

Plans

  • This is a Roadshow, starting in SF, moving on to Zurich, Singapore, Paris, then to cities in the Global South: São Paulo and Delhi.

  • We have participation from cities and countries we are visiting. For example, from the City of SF, from policymakers within the Newsom administration here in California, and (in Zurich) from the global organization Swissnex.

  • We feature artists and experience designers, facilitating an evocative presentation of where we are, and of what the world we are building can be.

  • We are values driven, not propagated by an Energy Company or by Governments. Being independent, we are more effective in sparking effective community and alliances, accelerating the pivot toward clean energy and a sustainable future.

Mission

  • The Energy Innovators Network — and our event series, the Energy Innovation Summit — make introductions to facilitate and galvanize action.

  • We create new alliances between people, organizations, and companies, lending to success. We are building community to accelerate our pivot, as a society, to clean energy.

  • Working with artists from every corner of the globe, we reach deep into the cities and countries we visit, providing a platform for bold ideas, shared among a diverse community.
