In this panel, senior members of the Biden-Harris Administration will discuss the work they did to catalyze the private sector to commercialize critical technologies for the clean energy transition. Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) created over 900,000 new jobs, catalyzed over 900 new and expanded manufacturing facilities and for every dollar invested by the DOE, six dollars was brought to the table by the private sector.  Learn more from key leaders on how this was accomplished.

The panel discussion will be moderated by Vanessa Chan, the inaugural Vice Dean of Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Penn Engineering and the former Chief Commercialization Officer at DOE under President Biden.

Featured panelists:

• Maria Robinson, former Director of the Grid Deployment Office (GDO)
• Jigar Shah, former Director of the Loan Programs Office (LPO)
• Giulia Siccardo, former Director of the Office Manufacturing Energy & Supply Chain (MESC)

The event will be followed with light refreshments.
