Financing "Hard Tech" for energy transitions
2026-06-03 08:00 - 10:00 | MD
The current financing ecosystem remains poorly matched to the challenge of the modern energy system. Traditional venture capital often struggles with long development timelines and infrastructure-scale deployment needs. Public funding is fragmented and episodic. Institutional investors frequently enter too late. Meanwhile, geopolitical competition, load growth from AI and electrification, and rising pressure for domestic industrial capacity are increasing the urgency of getting these financing models right.
What kinds of capital structures are actually fit for purpose? Where can public institutions reduce risk without crowding out private markets? Which technologies are commercially viable — and which remain dependent on policy support? And what lessons can investors, development finance practitioners, and climate-focused policymakers learn from one another?
Join Impact for Breakfast DC for a discussion on the challenge of financing hard tech in the energy transition era. The conversation will explore the intersection of public finance, venture capital, infrastructure investment, and industrial policy — and what it will take to move from promising pilots to scaled deployment.
Speakers

Tim Profeta, Senior Fellow, Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability at Duke University
Paul Elizondo, energy finance and policy expert, CEO of P2 Corporate Finance
Senofer Mendoza, Founder and Managing Partner, Mendoza Ventures

USGBC Impact Symposium

Building Resilient Cities: Advancing Sustainable Development in the DC Region

Join leaders from across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area for a dynamic symposium exploring the future of community and green building development. This event convenes state and local government officials, planners, developers, sustainability practitioners, and business-sector innovators to examine how the region can accelerate progress toward more resilient, low carbon, and equitable communities.
As state and local governments in the DMV continue to pursue ambitious climate, housing, and infrastructure goals, the symposium will spotlight the essential role of the public sector in shaping policy landscapes that support sustainability and resilience. Participants will learn how jurisdictions are using LEED v5—the newest generation of the LEED rating system emphasizing decarbonization, resilience, health, and equity—to guide high performance building initiatives and align development with community climate commitments. Government leaders will also share how LEED for Cities is being used to measure, manage, and elevate local sustainability progress at the regional scale.
The business community plays a central role in achieving this vision. Developers, architects, technology firms, and industry partners will showcase resilient building design and operations, advanced materials, electrification, and nature-based solutions that align with LEED v5 and support growing demand for green, future ready development. Discussions will explore how the private sector and government agencies can collaborate through incentives, procurement strategies, and public private partnerships to scale climate action and strengthen community resilience.

Through interactive panels, case studies, and solution driven discussions, the symposium will explore strategies for:
Implementing and scaling LEED v5 across building portfolios
Leveraging LEED for Cities to drive measurable, equitable progress
Advancing healthy and affordable green communities
Using data, technology, and financing tools to accelerate sustainable development
Strengthening cross sector partnerships to support regional climate leadership

Environmental stewardship, economic vitality, and social equity should be at the forefront of our community development. Register to join us in this discussion today.
