For five decades, the IEA has been cooperating with international experts to help set the energy technology agenda and convene decision-makers, advising governments all around the world. The IEA hosts a unique international Technology Collaboration Programme, the framework for which was developed from 1974 and now boasts about 6 000 experts from 55 countries in 39 longstanding and self-governing programmes. The IEA also works with numerous multilateral initiatives, including Mission Innovation and the Clean Energy Ministerial.

This work has never been as important as it is today, with technology required to play a critical role in enabling faster transitions to a clean and secure energy sector at net-zero emissions. It is therefore time to renew the commitment to supporting the innovators, investors and policy makers that are challenging the status quo of energy production and use to build a new energy economy. The event will discuss the main challenges that slow progress from the lab to the hands of early adopters, and the initiatives that show how governments can work seamlessly with innovators – whether in large firms or new start-ups - to overcome these challenges. The conclusions will be passed directly to ministers of countries representing some 80% of global energy consumption.

Participants will come from the worlds of government, companies, start-ups, research, international finance and venture capital investment. From these stakeholders – many of whom are united by their willingness to put capital at risk in support of new clean energy technology ideas, and their desire to move faster – we hope to gather insights into the gaps in the global policy and investment landscape.
