The United States is poised to lead the growth of the Energy and Space Economies, bringing both high economic growth, new solutions, and enhanced security and resilience nationally and globally. We wanted to ensure our nation’s innovators, scientists, investors, and market leaders received an invitation to the Convergence: US Disruptive Deeptech, Energy, and Space virtual conference. We see that deep tech is increasingly convergent, and there will be opportunities for leadership by innovators with a full range of backgrounds and expertise.

Convergence: US Disruptive Deeptech, Energy, Space

Accelerating Tomorrow's Technologies Today | January 17, 2025

Join us at the forefront of Deeptech, Energy and Space Innovation. Global energy is approximately a $6T market annually, and the high-growth space economy is projected at $2 trillion by the mid-2030s. We expect these markets to provide advantages and solutions across areas as diverse as semiconductors, biotech/pharma, energy, communications, and more. Advanced technologies across Deeptech, Energy and Space are interlinked and come together to provide the path to infrastructure scale and global solutions in these sectors: on and off planet.

On January 17th, we witness both the state-of-the-art and breakthroughs that most consider decades from reality (being built towards today!). The US Space Economy and Disruptive Deeptech Interagency Groups’ rapid-fire showcase of innovations redefining what's possible in space—not in fifty years, but today.

This virtual conference will include diverse technologies, companies, and experts funded and supported across the interagency (awards publicly visible), including NASA, NSF, DOD (Space Force, SpaceWERX, Air Force/AFWERX, DARPA), ISS, DHHS, NIH, DOE, SBA, Commerce, Treasury, and others…

Co-hosted with interagency and private sector colleagues across all areas in deep tech, energy, and space technologies.

The event is free and open—feel free to hop in and out of the sessions as you like. Please share this registration link with colleagues in the public and private sectors who are actively advancing Deeptech, Space, and Energy.
