Fuelling the dream: financing challenges of energy startups

What does it take for an energy startup to thrive in the UK’s competitive market?

What role do VCs play in unlocking scalable energy innovations?

Are current funding models meeting the needs of cleantech entrepreneurs?

If you’d like to find out the answer to any of these questions then you need to join us on our first 2025 event: “Fuelling the dream: financing challenges of energy startups.”

We will focus on identifying and addressing technology gaps in the energy transition, showcasing how startups, investors, and stakeholders are driving innovation toward net-zero and what financial barriers they encounter when doing so. 

You’ll be able to hear from and network with a panel of exceptional speakers who will provide you with entrepreneurial insights and highlight the thriving UK energy cleantech scene.

The event will then be followed by an interactive game where you will be able to put into action the learnings from the panel and test your newly acquired entrepreneurial skills and investment strategies against the other teams.
