CALGARY, Alberta, March 9, 2023 -- The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) selected Summit Nanotech Corporation ("Summit") as one of its 40 presenters for the 2023 NREL Industry Growth Forum (IGF), chosen from a field of applicants from across the globe.

“We are pleased to be presenting at this year’s IGF,” said CEO and Founder of Summit Nanotech Amanda Hall. “This opportunity allows us to access and collaborate with a wide range of climate tech investors and deep tech CEOs all under one roof. The cumulative impact of these meetings will undoubtedly be powerful as we all strive towards a clean energy future.”

Summit Nanotech Corporation is a cleantech organization transforming how the world accesses lithium for the global energy transition. Through their proprietary and sustainable direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology, Summit Nanotech is protecting natural resources and optimizing operations for lithium producers in South America.

This is the 28th year of the IGF, which is set for May 1-3 at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Denver, Colorado near the Colorado Convention Center.

The forum represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity in the cleantech space and is known as the premier event for cleantech entrepreneurs, investors, and experts from industry and the public sector. It allows them to build relationships, showcase innovative technologies, and identify disruptive business solutions. NREL facilitates connections between cutting-edge startups and motivated investors to drive innovation to market. NREL is the only U.S. federal lab dedicated to renewable energy and energy efficiency research.

“This crop of presenters will show the depths the clean energy industry continues to grow, and investors can help them continue the work to change the climate for the better,” Event Manager Sheila Ebbitt said. “Startups who attend have the chance to set one-on-one meetings with investors that can help unite both parties in the push to bring new technologies into the market. This is why the Industry Growth Forum makes a difference.”

NREL selected this year’s presenters from 189 applicants, ranging from agriculture innovation to grid technology, and come from 29 states and eight countries, including Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom. More than 150 investors could hold up to more than 1,500 meetings during the two-day event.
