On June 26th Startup Grind Calgary will be hosting a special event in partnership with the Energy Disruptors conference to help promote their vision of "uniting the entire spectrum of the energy industry around the common goal of accelerating pragmatic and profitable solutions to the world's biggest energy challenges." As Graeme Edge, co-founder of the conference explains in their vision, this is "a time of exponential transformation is a time ripe with possibilities. One where combining sustainable energy with economic growth is possible. We believe leveraging exponential technologies will advance us along the path to solving global air pollution, meeting the increasing demand for energy and eliminating energy poverty. It will shift humanity into the age of abundance, but only if we work together."

As such we will be hosting three exciting energy founders who are or have made significant contributions to this vision. Join us to hear about how these founders created their companies and be inspired around how you can grow your company in this volatile time.
