LAUNCH
Our inaugural Innovation Agora @ CERAWeek established a unique community focused
on the great transformation underway in technology and its impact on the energy
future. The Agora featured a range of programs and experiences designed to stimulate
new thinking and explore future pathways across the energy landscape. Technologies
ranged from IoT and digital to e-mobility, robotics, 3-D printing, and connected homes—
creating a powerful vision and unique voice for technology at CERAWeek.
Among the 70+ speakers were leading thinkers from start-ups, traditional energy
companies, investors, and academics. The Innovation Agora @ CERAWeek offered an
immersive experience with new formats, including:
• Studios in the Round—dialogues between thought leaders and the audience;
• Exploration Pods featuring technology thought leaders and Energy Innovation
Pioneers;
• Discovery Showcases, including prototypes, demonstrations, and virtual and
augmented reality. These ranged from the factory of the future to connected homes to
a virtual visit to Mars; and
• Agora Link, a relaxed gathering spot for conversations; collaboration; and locally
roasted, barista-served coffee.
We thank our Agora partners for their vision, commitment, and contributions to the
launch of this CERAWeek initiative. We also appreciate the many delegates who made
the Innovation Agora part of their CERAWeek 2017 journey.
