Build your skills. Expand your network. Explore the future of energy.
Join us for the CWiE x Avatar Ignite Program Lunch & Learn!
CWiE is excited to join Avatar Innovations for a Lunch & Learn introducing members to the Avatar Ignite Program and the opportunities available through CWiE’s new partnership with Avatar Innovations.
Think Shark Tank, but for the energy industry.
Avatar Ignite is a 14-week immersive leadership and innovation program designed for professionals working across the energy industry.
You’ll join a team, develop an energy technology idea and build your pitch with support from industry leaders, entrepreneurs and experts along the way. At the end of the program, teams pitch their solutions to senior energy executives, with select teams advancing to Avatar Studio to continue developing their idea.
Whether you want to grow as a leader, expand your network, explore entrepreneurship or get closer to the technologies shaping the future of energy, Avatar Ignite gives you the opportunity to learn by doing.
Curious about joining the 2027 cohort?
During this Lunch & Learn, the Avatar Innovations team will take you inside the program and share what you can expect from the 2027 Avatar Ignite cohort, including the program experience, time commitment, technology streams, team structure and application process.
You’ll also have the opportunity to hear from the Avatar team, ask questions and learn what it takes to get involved.
One CWiE member. One sponsored spot.
Through our new partnership with Avatar Innovations, CWiE will sponsor one member each year to participate in the Avatar Ignite Program.
We’ll share more about this opportunity during the Lunch & Learn, including how CWiE members can put themselves forward for the 2027 sponsored spot.
Whether you’re ready to apply or simply curious about energy innovation, entrepreneurship and professional development, come learn more and see where Ignite could take you.
