Where Clean Energy Leaders Connect

TechNexus partnered with the Clean Energy Leadership Institute to host the National CT Chicago Fellowship at TeamWorking by TechNexus. The collaboration brings together clean energy leaders for in-person programming at Chicago's premier innovation hub.

TechNexus Venture Collaborative is thrilled to partner with the Clean Energy Leadership Institute (CELI) to host the National CT Chicago Fellowship’s in-person programming this fall. From September to December 2024, TeamWorking by TechNexus , Chicago’s premier innovation hub, will be the dynamic setting for this collaboration. At TeamWorking by TechNexus, CELI 2024 fellows will experience a flexible, hybrid environment that fosters in-person collaboration and sparks new ideas and learning within the clean energy space. The hybrid setup allows local and national lecturers to inspire fellows through virtual and on-site sessions. This face-to-face interaction ignites fresh ideas and connections that elevate the fellows' experience and development as emerging leaders. “While the last few years have demonstrated the importance of providing virtual-only fellowships as a critical equity support to make knowledge, networks and career growth opportunities more accessible to all communities across the United States, CELI is thrilled to be able to bring back the much sought after fully in-person cohort experience this year across all its ‘CELI cities’, including Chicago, with the generosity of partners like TeamWorking by TechNexus,” says Esther Morales, executive director. “CELI knows that unscheduled conversations and unplanned hang-outs can lead to deep camaraderie, creative problem-solving and innovation.” This partnership strengthens the relationship between TechNexus and CELI, with an eye on future initiatives that will drive the growth of clean energy leaders and entrepreneurs. “TechNexus is committed to fueling the clean energy transition by backing the brightest innovators,” says Madelyn Rutter, Sr. Director of Collaboration. “Hosting the CELI Fellowship strengthens our role in developing future leaders and deepens the local impact in this critical sector.” We’re excited about the opportunities this partnership brings to CELI fellows and the broader clean tech communi
