Join Vicinity Energy, the nation’s largest district energy provider, and the Maryland Energy Innovation Accelerator (MEIA) for a hands-on, high-impact hackathon tackling real-world decarbonization challenges in urban thermal systems. This is your chance to work directly with Vicinity’s technical team to shape the future of clean heating and develop solutions that could lead to pilots, partnerships, and investment.
We’re looking for technical solutions, not broad ideas. Each team will dig into real constraints—site access, infrastructure, controls—and either remove bottlenecks or propose blue-sky innovations that reimagine what’s possible
Electric Boilers
How can we optimize siting, interconnection, and controls to scale quickly?
Heat Pumps
How do we overcome barriers like water access and integration with district heating networks?
Thermal Storage
What storage technologies or system designs could enable load shifting in dense urban grids
Participants will team up to develop actionable plans that address real-world challenges, supported by Vicinity staff, MEIA resources, & other ecosystem players, culminating in a final pitch session and pathways to further development and funding.
If you're an engineer, entrepreneur, policymaker, or researcher with a passion for decarbonization, this event is for you. Whether you're developing thermal technologies, building climate startups, shaping policy, or guiding innovation from the lab to market, you’ll find valuable connections and opportunities here.
This isn’t just a brainstorming session - it’s a real opportunity to work on high-priority challenges alongside industry leaders. Collaborate directly with Vicinity’s technical team, access Maryland’s robust clean energy network, and unlock support for piloting and scaling your ideas.
