Clean energy startups that are ready for investments and pilot programs will showcase their work during The Rice Alliance Clean Energy Accelerator’s Nov. 17 Demo Day.
The event hosted by the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship will present quick pitches from 17 companies as well as networking opportunities. Startups will showcase work in areas including advanced materials, energy storage, energy efficiency, hydrogen, wind, wave and geothermal energy. Anyone interested in attending should register here.

The 17 companies in Class 2 are: Atargis Energy, CLS Wind, Dsider, Eden, Emission Critical, FuelX, GeoGen Technologies, GOLeafe, LiNa Energy, Luminescent, NanoTech, Nobel Works, Pressure Corp, Quino Energy, Viridly, Volta and Wootz.
