The Energy Council and Nasdaq Collaborate to Advance Cross-Industry Innovation
Published 7 May 2024
The Energy Council is collaborating with Nasdaq with Nasdaq to bring together leaders from across both the investment landscape and energy industry to uncover the most pressing challenges the energy sector is facing, as well as the opportunities for 2024 and beyond. Through this collaboration, this year’s prestigious New York Energy Capital Assembly will proudly take place at the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square from June 6-7.
“Working together with Nasdaq underpins our commitment to facilitating meaningful dialogue and collaboration between energy policymakers, investors and operators. We look forward to working closely with Nasdaq to make meaningful industry connections to drive innovation and help shape the future of the sector.”
The New York Energy Capital Assembly is a marquee event that will bring together over 200 of the most influential thought leaders in the space to discuss opportunities brought by the energy transition. Already this year, The Energy Council and Nasdaq have teamed up to host several advisory board meetings that addressed the transition to net-zero and decarbonization investment opportunities within the broader capital markets landscape.
This collaboration demonstrates a significant step forward in leveraging the collective expertise and resources of both organizations. The New York Energy Capital Assembly will bring together the industry’s key stakeholders to address energy security concerns by providing reliable, sustainable and affordable energy to the US and global markets. For more information about the collaboration, please visit the New York Energy Capital Assembly website.
