Climate Week – Energy Alliances: A Changing World Order

As the global energy landscape undergoes a seismic transformation, the intersection of energy security, defense technology, policy and capital strategy is more critical than ever. Pillsbury and MILE are co-hosting this summit during Climate Week NYC, with partnership from FusionX on fusion-focused sessions.

The sessions will explore how shifting geopolitical alliances, defense-driven innovation and energy resilience-related technologies are reshaping the global energy order. The program will focus on cross-sector investment, legal pathways and scalable deployment models, bringing together leaders from across the energy, defense, legal and finance sectors.
