The Exchange

The Engine of CATALYZE

The Exchange is the heart of CATALYZE: a vibrant, bustling village square that engineers those important moments of “serendipity” between attendees, speakers, and sponsors. This is where cross-sector connections form to unlock new, high-impact deals and partnerships.

Expect engaging product demos and tech showcases, pitches from up-and-coming innovators, immersive displays, breakouts, impromptu meetups, and buzzing coffee bars.

These opportunities to interact, network, and learn are interspersed with quiet seating areas and semi-enclosed spaces for decompressing and 1:1 conversation.

If you are interested in participating, please reach out at [email protected].

CATALYZE Series: Future-Proofing Critical Mineral Supplies
Engineering for Change
Critical mineral supplies are under strain as industries race to secure them for everything from electric vehicle batteries to renewable energy infrastructure. This webinar brings together leaders from mining technology, sustainable finance, and policy to explore how industry can build resilient critical mineral supplies, scaling supply chains while reducing risk and cost.
Low Carbon, No Problem
By Leslie Nemo
Industrial transformation no longer relies on future breakthroughs – it starts by scaling the technologies available today. From industrial heat pumps to carbon capture and reuse, companies are already improving efficiency and building more resilient operations. The opportunity now is scaling the adoption of proven solutions.
Beyond the Reactor: How Oklo is turning nuclear breakthroughs into scalable solutions.
Mechanical Engineering Magazine
The defining test for advanced nuclear is no longer proof of concept—it is whether developers can fuel, license, manufacture, and replicate plants on credible schedules. That challenge is central to how nuclear power company Oklo, Inc. approaches commercialization.
CATALYZE Series: How Regional Manufacturing Leads the Transition to Clean Industries
Engineering for Change
The transition to clean industries is often discussed in terms of national targets and global frameworks, but one analysis suggests its success will be determined at the local level. The clean industrial revolution may be underway on factory floors, in industrial corridors, and within the communities supporting manufacturing.
Clean Tech and the Reboot of American Manufacturing
ASME TechCast
Tesla alum Milo Werner breaks down what’s driving clean tech investments and how a standard process for commercializing these technologies could accelerate re-industrialization.
CATALYZE Series: The 2035 Initiative’s Roadmap to Electrify Industrial Heat
Engineering for Change
Industrial heat is one of the largest sources of emissions, and it is hard to abate. The equipment is expensive and has a long lifespan, processes are complex and there has been a lack of mature decarbonization technologies to reduce emissions. Now, however, the sector is at a turning point. Technology, policy, and engineering analysis have converged to open real paths toward decarbonization.
In Pursuit of Clean Steel
By Lina Zeldovich
Engineering the future means rethinking the fundamentals, including how we make one of the world’s most essential materials: Steel. Innovators featured at ASME CATALYZE are reimagining manufacturing across steel and other sectors, helping build the next industrial revolution.
Meeting The Moment: Investors Signal a New Phase for Advanced Energy Technologies
By Jigar Shah
The next wave of advanced energy growth will be shaped by the partnerships we build today. In his new article, Jigar Shah draws on his experience as an advisor, investor, and former DOE Loan Programs Director, along with insights from McKinsey & Company, to highlight which technologies are accelerating, where the biggest scaling opportunities lie, and why ASME CATALYZE arrives at a pivotal moment for the sector.
CATALYZE Series: Engineering the Next Industrial Revolution
Engineering for Change
Engineering for Change and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, present the first in the CATALYZE Series of discussions on the energy transition and the future of industry.
