Founders and Funders Forum for Sustainable Technology

Over $83 million in government contracts is currently available for sustainable technology projects. The founders and funders who will capture that capital are the ones in the right room, having the right conversations.

The Founders & Funders Forum for Sustainable Technology is a curated convening bringing together clean energy and sustainable tech founders, investors, and ecosystem partners. Attendees will include leaders across government, finance, and venture who are actively deploying capital and shaping the future of the industry.

This is the room where deals get started.

What you will walk away with:
• Direct access to venture capitalists and banks actively investing in sustainable technology
• A clear understanding of how to compete for over $83 million in available government contracts
• Insight on policy priorities and public resources shaping clean energy and infrastructure investment
• Connections to collaborators, co-founders, and strategic partners already building in the space

Who this is for:
Founders in clean energy, EV infrastructure, and sustainable technology, along with funders, utilities, government partners, and ecosystem builders committed to accelerating innovation in Chicago and beyond.

Why it matters:
Chicago is positioning itself as a national leader in clean tech innovation. This forum places you at the center of that momentum with access to capital, contracts, and decision makers who are turning ideas into deployment.
