Due to overwhelming interest, we're excited to offer a livestream broadcast of the Mainstage program. Whether you're a sustainability ally around the nation and globe, or in NYC and unable to attend the in-person event, we invite you to tune in live or on-demand.
Financing Our Future: Unlocking Capital for Deployment and Innovation
9:00 – 10:00 am
Investments in the clean energy economy stand at $2.3 Trillion annually and are growing rapidly. Real economy allocations amplify this generational opportunity for innovation and scaling the technologies of the future. This program will examine the structural barriers limiting capital flows into clean energy deployment and innovation, and explore how investors and businesses can accelerate investment in climate solutions that improve resiliency, efficiency, and long-term competitiveness.
State Leadership: Opportunities in an Era of Transformation
10:10 - 10:50am
States have always served as the proving grounds of innovation and where competing visions of the future are explored. Governors from red and blue states will share perspectives about balancing economic development, affordability and energy, community resiliency, and investment priorities while leading through a period of rapid change. They will also discuss advancing long-term competitiveness in a polarized political environment.
Powering the Digital Economy: Sustainable Data Centers
11:00am - 12:00pm
AI Implementation is accelerating, and data centers are driving energy and water demand. The opportunity is massive to build sustainably and incorporate clean energy and water innovations, ensuring sustainable operations, affordability, and community benefits.
