Dr. Erik Spoerke, a former Materials Lead in the Sandia Energy Storage program and now Senior Analytics Advisor with the DOE Office of Electricity (OE), co-chaired the “Energy Storage: Toward Larger and Longer Duration Storage Deployment” symposium at the 2024 TechConnect World Innovation Conference and Expo June 17-18, 2024, in Washington D.C. Along with Dr. Imre Gyuk (Chief Scientist in the U.S. DOE Office of Electricity), Dr. Spoerke hosted two days of lively presentations focused on storage technology innovation as well as policy and market factors that affect grid-scale storage deployment.
This symposium at TechConnect has been running for more than 10 years and has offered a unique venue to connect technology innovators, developers, funding sources, and government. The connections that stem from this meeting offer new opportunities for collaboration and growth, particularly around emerging fields, such as long-duration energy storage.
The 2024 TechConnect World Innovation event includes the annual SBIR/STTR Innovation Conference, AI TechConnect, and the TechConnect Technical Program – more than 35 world-class technical symposium, and the Nanotech Conference Series – the world’s largest and longest running nanotechnology event.
