The U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Interior, and the White House invite registration for the upcoming webinar on ArcticX, an InnovationXLab series of events that explore the Arctic's crucial yet largely untapped potential as a living laboratory of clean energy innovation. This kickoff marks the first in a series of four virtual events, culminating with an in-person InnovationXLab in Alaska in May.

ArcticX will showcase an interagency cross section of U.S. leadership in energy innovation and commercialization. It will highlight the resourcefulness that defines this traditionally underserved but strategically important region. Join diverse Arctic stakeholders, including Alaska Natives, industry entrepreneurs, university and laboratory researchers, and government leaders in crucial discussions.

Hear from Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, White House representatives, and U.S. Department of Energy leadership.

Speakers will convene to discuss:

  • Build Back Better for Alaska
  • Capacity building, workforce issues, and energy justice
  • Leveraging federal agency expertise and resources for technology transfer and commercialization
  • Transportation needs for remote access, including transportation electrification
  • Energy Transition – pathways to sustainable energy systems that address requirements for power, heat, and mobility
