Energy Huntsville is a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade organization dedicated to diversifying the local and regional economy by engaging businesses, non-profit organizations, schools, and public entities in a networking and educational environment. We hold monthly meetings with educational speakers and networking opportunities, as well as hosting our annual Energy Summit conference. Energy Huntsville is diversifying the region’s economy, workforce and business environment to include energy applications and innovations by linking the commercial and government contracting strengths of the greater Huntsville region with key customer requirements, market forces and national policy directives for advanced energy systems and applications. The goal is to establish this community as the go-to technology center for solutions to energy programs and projects. Energy Huntsville was launched by the City of Huntsville’s Mayor Tommy Battle to protect the space and missile systems industrial technology base by focusing intellectual capital and corporate offerings on the growing energy market sector. In doing so, the Initiative is supporting Huntsville, Alabama’s and the region’s economic growth objectives. The organization is a volunteer based non-profit collaborative with over 200 companies who are currently deeply involved in the energy market sector or companies redirecting their offerings toward the energy sector. Our economic development mandate has gained positive results with large energy focused companies moving into the area and growing their Huntsville presence. In addition, a number of teaming agreements have been signed as a result of our structured networking sessions.
