Become an Active powerNEXT Venture

Our powerNEXT program is an innovation accelerator and network hub that provides strategic support to your power venture and helps drive technology adoption across our country’s power landscape.

With our network of values-aligned investors, technology partners, researchers, and industry decision-makers, powerNEXT provides ongoing access to targeted opportunities, training, capital, and the co-development and adoption of solutions.

Supports Currently Available:

• Industry Matchmaking Series: Choose up to four industry-led sessions every fall that deep-dive into current challenges, opening the door for piloting opportunities and expanded network opportunities. 
• powerNEXT Annual Cohort: Our cohort runs for 11 weeks and includes sector-specific insights into technology needs, end user and clean energy trends, investor perspectives, and ecosystem opportunities. Leave with a robust understanding of how to succeed in today’s clean energy landscape.
