Growth Opps is thrilled to announce RISE Energy Summit 2023, an all-day event to be held on August 22nd, 2023, in downtown Cleveland. The summit is designed to bring together businesses, communities, and governments to invest in a sustainable and shared future.
The focal point of the event will be the historic $369 billion Inflation Reduction Act, which presents a unique opportunity for clean energy investments. RISE Energy Summit 2023 aims to facilitate meaningful conversations about leveraging this legislation to improve health, prosperity, and quality of life outcomes in our neighborhoods.
RISE Energy Summit is presented by Growth Opps in collaboration with the GO Green Energy Fund, the first African American-led Green Bank in the United States and the first Green Bank in Ohio. The summit aligns with the principles of Resilience, Innovation, Sustainability, and Equity (RISE), and its primary objective is to promote sustainable and equitable energy practices while reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.
The event will feature plenaries, panels, and interactive breakout sessions focusing on catalytic and sustainable energy investment opportunities. Participants will gain insights into the roles and opportunities available to citizens, small businesses, large corporations, community organizations, and local governments to access the expansive legislation and create a cleaner and more prosperous future.
Keynote speakers and industry experts will share their perspectives on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in low-income and disadvantaged communities. RISE 2023 aims to mobilize financing and private capital to support sustainable projects that contribute to a cleaner and brighter future.
Michael Jeans, the CEO of Growth Opps, expressed his enthusiasm for the event, stating that RISE 2023 will unite national leaders, corporations, communities, and households to tackle climate instability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The summit aims to build resilient 22nd-century cities and economies where everyone has the opportunity to participate and thrive.
Ndeda N. Letson, Chairwoman of the Board of Growth Opps, emphasized the unique opportunity presented by the Inflation Reduction Act and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to invest in a robust renewables infrastructure. She stated that the event aligns with their commitment to foster sustainable and prosperous communities while promoting an equitable and just energy transition.
