The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted our lives in many ways than one. While we would love to host all our participants on the show floor this October, the pandemic has changed much of our plans. After careful consideration, we have decided to host our 3rd annual PowerACE start-up competition virtually.

With this virtual format, PowerACE 2020 will replicate elements from the live experience on a digital platform and reach a global audience of industry professionals. Expect networking opportunities with investors and industry experts on a global scale - all from the comforts from your own homes or anywhere in the world on the go. We hope that this new format, PowerACE can empower energy start-ups to create more meaningful collaborations and opportunities to help scale their businesses during these challenging times.

If you are an energy start-up founder that has a business idea or solution covering one of 5 key themes this year, we would like to hear from you!

As the ideal platform to help your energy start-up to scale-up, the top 12 selected start-ups will get a chance to exhibit at Asia Clean Energy Summit (ACES) ​where they can showcase their products and ideas to connect and exchange ideas with incumbents in the industry, meet with potential investors, and scout for the right professionals within the renewable energy sector.

Furthermore, as a chosen start-up, you will be provided mentorship by industry professionals to help refine your business models and pitches over a period of 1 month, with the winning pitch standing to win attractive prizes and supports from our sponsors!

Dateline for submission is on 31 August 2020.
