ASME CATALYZE is a two-day summit that assembles the community of engineers, investors, entrepreneurs, and enablers who are driving the next industrial revolution. 

This is not a typical conference, but an interactive, execution-focused convening, anchored in the processes and people that build energy and industrial systems in the real world.  

The summit is hosted at Newlab Detroit and Michigan Central and co-produced by Constructive, an independent nonprofit that specializes in outcome-driven convenings that align action. 

About

ASME CATALYZE is a two-day summit that assembles the community of engineers, investors, entrepreneurs, and enablers who are driving the next industrial revolution. 

This is not a typical conference, but an interactive, execution-focused convening, anchored in the processes and people that build energy and industrial systems in the real world.  

The summit is hosted at Newlab Detroit and Michigan Central and co-produced by Constructive, an independent nonprofit that specializes in outcome-driven convenings that align action. 

CATALYZE will do more than start conversations: it will spark a community of practice that transforms the future of energy and industry.

The Location

CATALYZE will be located at Michigan Central and the adjacent Newlab campus. These two historic buildings embody Detroit’s industrial legacy and future – and are home to a thriving ecosystem of technologists and entrepreneurs.

CATALYZE builds on this momentum and fortifies the community at the epicenter of America’s industrial renaissance.
