Join us for the 2026 Capital Region Energy Advisory Roundtable, our inaugural annual stakeholders' meeting dedicated to the strategic growth of the industry and supply chain in the Greater Baton Rouge region.

Hosted at the LSU Energy Institute, this gathering brings together energy leaders, project developers, and key business decision-makers. Unlike a traditional briefing, this roundtable is designed to use your expertise as a soundboard for The Partnership’s industry recruitment and retention strategies. Your insights will directly inform the next steps for the Capital Region’s energy economy.

We are honored to welcome the LSU Energy Institute and NSF FUEL as our featured speakers. Their presentations will focus on the essential talent pipeline and workforce development required to support our growing industrial base. Furthermore, we will highlight the work NSF FUEL is doing to catalyze innovation through targeted investments in startups within the emerging technology and energy sectors—a critical component of our region's future competitiveness.

Our agenda will focus on:

• Recruitment & Investment: Sharing updates on strategies for high-impact projects that bring new investment to the region
• Workforce Evolution: Analyzing the talent pipeline needed to sustain industry growth
• Startup Ecosystems: Building a clear pathway for emerging tech and energy sector startups to scale locally

This session is a premier opportunity to connect with peers, compare strategic notes, and ensure your voice is heard as we define the trajectory of The Partnership’s energy initiatives.
