Energy Startup Competition

Launched in 2017, the Energy Startup Competition is a fast-paced competition showcasing emerging energy technology companies.

Competitors will receive visibility among leaders in the upstream energy industry, recognition as technology leaders, the opportunity for cash prizes, networking with leading energy investors, and mentoring.

The 10 finalist companies selected to present will have the opportunity to participate in a mentoring session before the Competition and will receive complimentary admission to ATCE.

The Startup Village will take place virtually this year. It will consist of the Energy Startup Competition on Tuesday, 20 September, and the Competition Awards Announcements and "Meet the Experts" on Wednesday, 21 September.

During the competition, each company will have 7 minutes to provide information about their company and technology to a group of venture capitalists, angel investors, and industry leaders. They will have an additional 7 minutes of Q&A to further promote their company.

During "Meet the Experts", all participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and gain insights from investors, industry representatives, and veteran entrepreneurs about building startups.

At ATCE, on Monday, 3 October, 1300-1330 CDT, join the Competition winners and incoming SPE President, Med Kamal, at the SPE Pavilion in the Exhibition Hall for the in-person Award Ceremony.
