Houston Energy Transition Initiative (HETI) Energy Ventures Pitch Competition

The annual Houston Energy Transition Initiative (HETI) Energy Ventures pitch competition brings together key members of the energy industry, investors, and startups to showcase the critical innovations and emerging technologies that create value from the world’s transition to low-carbon energy systems.
Start-ups and entrepreneurs with businesses providing cleaner and more sustainable energy while also meeting global energy needs reliably and affordably will compete for non-dilutive cash prizes and awards from TEX-E/Greentown Labs, SLB, HX Ventures, and more. In addition, Chevron will consider all finalists for inclusion in their Chevron Technology Ventures Catalyst program, as they did in the inaugural year of the competition.
Agora Pod Program
Engage with start-up entrepreneurs, innovators, and technologists in the Agora Presentation Pods.
Offering a powerful spectrum of innovations and approaches to solving the world’s greatest energy challenges, our Agora Pod Program features 200+ thirty-minute presentations by CEOs and founders of early-stage energy technology companies, running concurrently throughout the week.
Innovation Agora Tech Corridor
A new and exciting addition to our program will be our Innovation Agora Tech Corridor. Located in the middle of the action, this dedicated space will give delegates a chance to speak with a number of our Agora Pod presenters in a more relaxed and interactive setting. Pod presenters will be stationed in the Tech Corridor throughout the week in select time blocks for visits and conversations. Stop by for a visit!
