2026 SUMMIT HIGHLIGHTS
The 2026 ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit in San Diego, California, showcased energy thought leaders, transformative technology exhibits, and new opportunities for innovators to make connections that help scale and commercialize next-generation technologies.
Energy visionaries Secretary Chris Wright, Dr. Lisa Su, Dina Powell McCormick, Christopher Womack, Dr. Ethan Klein, Scott Forney and more shared insights on how the energy community can work together to unleash American energy innovation.
ARPA-E Program Directors and Fellows delivered Fast Pitches about the technical whitespaces ARPA-E may explore next, including superconductors, nuclear fuel cycles, solid-state heat engines, and fusion fuel.
At the Summit, we saw real-time engagement between innovators, investors, academia, and industry – leading to interest, partnerships, and investment. These conversations create the Summit’s collaborative ecosystem, which advances affordable, reliable, and secure energy technologies.
