Agenda

We are excited to welcome you here for a momentous day of learning, connection, and community. At this convening, we will offer incredible opportunities for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), Department of Energy Program Offices, the National Labs, higher education institutions, financial institutions, and non-profit organizations working to realize a just clean energy future and building lasting and generative connections. Together we will learn how to engage in business with the Department of Energy and engage with leaders in government and industry to learn more about how the energy industry is responding to historic federal investments in clean energy and communities.
