TIL is building an inclusive ecosystem in Energy Tech.

Utilizing an inclusive All Energy, Employ All approach to drive innovation in the energy transition economy.

Our Vision for Energy Tech

With Tulsa’s extensive existing place-based energy assets and founders spirit, TIL is actively establishing Tulsa as a national hub for all energy entrepreneurship, innovation, technology, and project development. We aspire for Tulsa to be a national leader in energy efficiency and sustainability, equitable energy employment, and the energy transition economy. We support our local energy companies innovating internally and a growing network of startups taking root in Tulsa.

Market Opportunity

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has estimated that the world will need to invest an average of $4.4 trillion per year in clean energy technologies between now and 2030 in order to reach the energy-related goals of the Paris Agreement while creating upwards of 65 million new jobs globally.

Why Tulsa

Tulsa boasts access to place-based legacy and renewable energy projects, existing energy and manufacturing infrastructure, an in-place energy focused workforce, a transport friendly location, industry leading academic R&D, and an extensive corporate partnership network.

Example Innovations

Energy Grid Resiliency

Start-up innovation can enhance the energy grid resiliency in Tulsa by developing microgrids, energy storage, renewable energy solutions, smart grid technologies, and demand response programs. These solutions can improve grid efficiency, prevent outages, reduce energy waste, and incentivize consumers to reduce energy consumption during peak demand periods.

Co-Located & Co-Generation Energy Projects

Co-generation of heat and electricity production combine well with Oklahoma's abundance of co-located energy resources. Conservation of finite resources while optimizing the efficiency of renewable energy production and transmission results in dynamic opportunities for being at the tip of the innovation spear.

Energy Product Supply Chain ManagemenT

With the extensive transportation network available in Tulsa as well as the advanced manufacturing infrastructure that already serves the in-place energy sector, Tulsa has the necessary elements for becoming a regional energy manufacturer and product distributor.

In Development:
Energy Tech Mentorship Program

The lack of mentorship and leadership opportunities for minorities within the energy sector are cited as the top reasons for exiting the energy sector. By developing an energy-specific mentorship program that pairs existing energy professionals with early and mid-career energy professionals, we can address in part the need to retain the diverse energy workforce that’s required to advance energy sector innovation.
