EnergyLab is Australia and New Zealand’s largest climate tech start-up accelerator and innovation network dedicated to reaching net zero emissions. EnergyLab supports talented founders in climate tech and connects them to the mentors, advisors, partners, peers, and investors they need to succeed.
The Start-Up Showcase at All-Energy Australia will host some of the country’s most exciting clean tech start-ups including Open Solar, Roev, UPowr, Ecojoule, Economical Energy, Equoia, Allegro Energy and more.
Megan Fisher, CEO of EnergyLab said about the new showcase, “The clean energy and climate tech start-up scene in Australia is going from strength to strength. The incredible adoption of renewable energy here has created a great environment for clean tech start-ups to thrive. We are thrilled to partner with All-Energy Australia to present this showcase and share the leading tech and solutions from this group of exciting start-ups”.
With the Technology Emissions Roadmap and many organisations and financial backers wanting to be involved in clean tech, the opportunity for innovative, clean energy disruptors is significant, and these companies and their people are going to be a critical part of Australia’s journey to net zero.
The Start-Up Showcase, which takes place on Thursday 27 October, will give visitors the chance to hear from innovative start-ups about their companies, but also their start-up journey.
There will be a particular focus on lithium batteries with a panel covering Start-Ups & Australia’s Generational Opportunity in the Lithium Battery Value Chain’ and a key note focusing on Maximising Our Lithium Battery Value Chain Resources. The focus on innovation in the battery area is following the launch of the Supercharge Initiative, a partnership between global clean energy start-up accelerator, New Energy Nexus and EnergyLab, which is calling for more Australian start-ups to supercharge battery innovation.
Despite producing almost 60% of the world’s lithium, Australia retains less than 1% of the USD 200 billion and rising annual product value, with 98% of the lithium mined in Australia being refined overseas, meaning the opportunity for innovation and start-ups to maximise the value chain in this area is significant.
Robby Clark, portfolio director at RX Global and All-Energy Australia said about the new Start-Up Showcase, “The road to net zero is a challenging one and will involve all the different levels of government, as well as all of our best and brightest minds to help us get there. The people and organisations that we are showcasing at the start-up showcase feature some of these ground-breaking ideas and organisations that will be part of Australia’s energy solution. We’re excited to give these innovators a platform.”
The exhibition and conference is co-located with Waste Expo, forming the largest gathering for waste and recycling management, clean and renewable energy and energy storage professionals in the country.
