Energy Systems Catapult will host a new Scale-Up Zone at the All-Energy 2026 conference in Glasgow from 13-14 May, bringing together some of the UK's most promising energy innovators on a national stage.
The Zone will showcase high-potential SMEs, providing investors and potential partners a chance to build relationships with key innovators driving the UK's energy transition.
The Scale-Up Zone will feature a diverse cohort of innovators including UrbanChain, Grid Edge, Keen AI, Urban Tide, and Power Up Off Grid, showcasing cutting-edge solutions across flexibility, digital energy systems, data and clean power.
Showcasing the innovators the energy transition needs
Alice Johnson, Business Lead for Innovator Support at Energy Systems Catapult, said: “SMEs are at the heart of our mission. As the energy system evolves at pace – shaped by clean energy targets, market uncertainty, rapid technological change and unparalleled opportunities for economic growth – the need to accelerate innovation and scale-up high potential UK innovators has never been greater.
“Our Scale-Up Zone is designed to create a practical, high-impact environment where innovators can showcase their work, build meaningful partnerships with attendees and accelerate their route to market.”
Discover innovation in action
For attendees, the Zone offers direct access to near-to-market innovation, clearer insight into the UK's energy innovation pipeline, and easier routes to partnerships, pilots and investment.
As well as exhibiting at the conference, featured innovators will take to the event’s theatre to share the stories behind their solutions. From early-stage breakthroughs to scaling impact, this is a chance to hear directly from the pioneers driving the energy transition:
