GE Vernova Returns as
Climatetech Summit Champion

GE Vernova has been building the technology behind the world's power grid for more than 130 years, from turbines to transformers to grid software and beyond.

Much of that work now supports electrifying and decarbonizing the grid, with its power, electrification, and wind businesses touching nearly every part of the energy transition.

That’s why we’re so excited to welcome GE Vernova back for a third year as our Champion sponsor!

Executives from across the business, along with its venture and incubation teams, will return to the Summit stage to discuss how they’re rising to meet surging new energy demand and how they’re leveraging innovation to do it.

Plus, this year, we’re excited to co-host a special Startup Challenge at our Boston Summit to put game-changing startups in direct conversation with this energy industry leader.
