Curious about where economics, finance and climate intersect? Want to understand how capital is actually deployed across the energy transition, and what a career in the sector could look like?

Join COMM-STEM and Cyan Ventures for an introduction to energy transition investing & economics.

The evening will begin with a presentation unpacking some of the biggest myths and debates surrounding the transition, using real data to explore what they mean for markets, policy and investment. Students will then hear from a panel of Cyan Ventures professionals across climate investing, project finance, energy market policy and early-stage ventures, covering what they do, how they entered the sector and the skills students should be building now.

The session will conclude with networking, giving students the opportunity to ask questions directly and connect with Cyan Ventures ahead of their graduate recruitment.
