VERGE Accelerate is a series of fast-pitch competitions that took place online at VERGE 20. This year’s program featured five sessions, one for each of the VERGE Conferences: VERGE Energy, VERGE Transport, VERGE Food, VERGE Carbon and VERGE Circular.

The Emerging Leaders program aims to empower a diverse group of up-and-coming leaders by giving them a front-row seat to the emerging clean economy. We define diversity broadly – including gender and race, but also those who have faced socioeconomic, personal or other barriers to achieving their goals.
