Smart buildings integrated with the electricity grid will play a pivotal role in the clean energy transition. The buildings of the future will automate their energy use to drive efficiency and balance out renewables, generate and store their own energy, and charge the growing fleet of electric vehicles. At this hackathon, we’ll explore startup ideas that can accelerate the uptake of these new smart building and clean energy solutions.

This two-day event will bring people together to brainstorm, refine and pitch startup ideas related to smart buildings and clean energy. Throughout the event, you will receive mentorship and training from industry experts to help develop your startup idea and food and drink to keep you going. If the judges think your idea has potential you will receive prizes designed to help you launch a successful startup.
