As demand for energy security, resilient infrastructure, and robust supply chains rises, the boundaries between energy innovation and defense priorities are rapidly converging. This panel explores how government and private capital can be deployed to accelerate energy technologies by leveraging mission-driven demand, public procurement, and early-stage financing mechanisms. Panelists will examine how federal agencies, including the Department of Energy and the Department of War, are supporting early traction through grants, SBIR/STTR programs, and direct procurement. The discussion will highlight the growing role of dual-use technologies, where defense adoption can provide early customers, validation, and initial deployment pathways for energy technology startups. The conversation will also explore how public funding and private investment can provide complementary signals that support technology validation and scale. Panelists will highlight practical models and lessons that can be applied across regions, agencies, and markets. This session is designed for founders, investors, policymakers, and ecosystem builders looking to understand how national priorities are reshaping capital flows, customer access, and growth strategies for energy technologies at scale. This event is a part of #BOSTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
