V-Glass Selected to Present at 2023 NREL Industry Growth Forum

WAUKESHA, Wisc., February 22, 2023 – The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (“NREL”) selected V-Glass as one of its 40 presenters for the 2023 NREL Industry Growth Forum (“IGF”) from a field of applicants across the globe.

“We are very honored to be among the elite companies selected to present at this year’s forum,” Mike Petit, V-Glass CEO said. “This is a massive opportunity, allowing us to pitch our story to a large audience of potential investors and partners that can help us migrate out of the lab and accelerate our affordable, ultra-high efficiency vacuum glass to market. As key enabling technology in the fight to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and in the transition to net-zero energy buildings, V-Glass has benefited greatly from its 10+ year relationship with the DOE and its National Labs.”

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.

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 more than 1,500 meetings during the two-day event.
