Second annual Chicago Climate Tech Week starts Monday
The five-day event will be held at various venues throughout the city.
The second annual Chicago Climate Tech Week begins Monday as a way to showcase clean energy and sustainable innovations, including solar power, electric vehicles, ethanol jet fuel, regenerative agriculture and more.
About 3,000 people are expected to attend the five-day event that runs September 16-20. During its first year in 2023, more than 2,000 people attended, organizer P33 said.
The week will feature panel discussions, expos, networking events and speakers including Illinois Governor JB Pritzker in conversation with Michael Polsfficerky, Chief Executive Officer of Invenergy, a Chicago-based sustainable energy company.
According to an article in the Chicago Sun-Times, some parts of Climate Tech Week are free but require registration, such as an all-day event featuring panels about biotech, energy, quantum tech and workforce development at the tech hub 1871 in the Merchandise Mart on September 18. There’s also a free event September 19 at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Called STEMFEST Clean Energy Career & Community Summit, it will feature interactive exhibits for students showcasing zero-emissions vehicles and clean energy tech.
