This event (two panels & an accompanying happy hour with refreshments) spotlights high-growth emerging technology startups tackling critical infrastructure challenges in the Built Environment-from resilient power delivery for data centers to advanced materials & transparency platforms for infrastructure operations. We bring together founders with institutional real estate & infrastructure investors to connect frontier innovation with the capital & market access needed to scale durable, high-performance solutions across the global built world. The panels provide actionable insights to deliver reliable power for AI workloads, strengthen building-material supply chains, & improve procurement transparency through automated assessments-helping create a more resilient, resource-efficient built environment.
The Built Environment is under pressure from every direction: surging energy demand, supply-chain volatility, tightening regulations, & aging infrastructure. The companies that will define the next era of real estate & infrastructure are building for resilience from day one. Built World Resiliency brings together startup founders & investors to explore how the next generation of infrastructure is being designed to perform under these new realities.
Panel 1 - Powering AI: Building Resilient Compute Infrastructure (4:00 PM). AI is driving unprecedented demand for energy & physical infrastructure. This panel features two startups designing & engineering data centers & power systems that are faster to deploy, more efficient to operate, & less dependent on strained grid infrastructure-making resilience a competitive advantage, not a trade-off.
Featuring: FLEXNODE's Chief Growth Officer Zak Kostura + ASTON POWER's co-founder Greg Robinson, moderated by Isela Bahena, Private Equity Infra at Nuveen
Panel 2 - Stronger Materials, Smarter Buildings (4:30 PM). The materials that go into every building are facing new scrutiny, from performance requirements & procurement mandates to environmental disclosure standards. This panel explores next-generation cement technology, AI-driven material intelligence, & automated lifecycle assessments that help project teams build with better data, better products, & greater confidence.
Featuring: CURA's founder Erin Bobicki + PATHWAYS' founder Leise Sanderman + ACELABS' co-founder Vardhan Meta, moderated by Markus Gatterwe of Holcim (Ventures)
The event opens with a networking session around 3:15/30 PM, followed by panels from 4:00-5:15 PM, & then a light happy hour. The lineup & content may change as we confirm additional speakers & institutional partners.
