Radiant is building the world’s first mass-produced portable nuclear microreactors. The company’s first reactor, Kaleidos, is a 1 MW failsafe microreactor that can be transported anywhere power is needed. Founded in 2020, Radiant plans to test its first reactor in 2026, with initial customer deployments beginning in 2028.

Equilibrium Energy is building the operating system for tomorrow’s power company. Our AI-native PowerOS platform, powered by Connective Intelligence™, breaks down data and system silos to unlock true portfolio optimization and integrated, enterprise-wide command. More than a technology provider, we stand side by side with power leaders to help accelerate innovation and amplify your team.

Fourth Power is a thermal battery energy storage company. Our technology makes renewable energy an on-demand energy source through utility-scale thermal storage. We can harness today’s wasted wind and solar production to respond to grid needs at a cost competitive with fossil fuels. Our modular battery can provide 5 to 10 hours of storage to meet needs now and scale with renewable deployment for needs up to 100 hours and any increment in between. With the ability to provide short- and long-duration energy storage (LDES), we can start small and grow with the grid to save consumers money and ensure a clean energy future.

Petra is the first robotics company focused on undergrounding utilities. Our undergrounding robot is the first practical and affordable solution able to bore utility tunnels through high grade hard rock, in areas that are the most disaster-prone. Our mission is to make the world a safer place by making utility undergrounding ubiquitous and affordable to all communities.
