Recognizing the Leaders of the Energy Transition

The Energy Summit Awards 2025 celebrate the most innovative companies and projects driving the energy transition and sustainability. This award honors corporations, entrepreneurs, researchers and investments that are at the forefront of solving the energy sector’s crucial challenges.
The award is presented during the Energy Summit Awards, MIT’s largest event outside the USA, which takes place annually in June in Rio de Janeiro, bringing together the world’s top leaders in the sector and an audience of 15,000 participants.

How the selection process works

  • The 6 nominations for finalists in each of the 12 categories are made by both partner institutions and the public, ensuring a diverse and representative selection.
  • The 6 finalists in each category are evaluated by expert judges from the partner institutions and MIT Technology Review, based on specific criteria for each category.
  • The organizations and projects with the highest average scores are declared winners in each category.
  • The 12 winners are announced on the Energy Summit stage on the last day of the event to the entire audience, with media coverage. This wide dissemination ensures that everyone can celebrate the winners’ contributions to the energy sector.
