SIMACRO Selected to Pitch at the 2026 Rice Alliance Energy Tech Venture Forum
SIMACRO is proud to announce that we have been selected to pitch at the 23rd Annual Rice Alliance Energy Tech Venture Forum, taking place September 16–17, 2026, in Houston, Texas.
Following what we understand was a highly competitive selection process, SIMACRO was chosen as one of approximately 50 energy technology ventures invited to present. We are honored to be included among the companies developing technologies that are shaping the future of energy and industrial operations.
Hosted by the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship, the Energy Tech Venture Forum is one of the region’s premier venture conferences for energy innovation. The event brings together founders, investors, corporate leaders, and industry experts to accelerate the commercialization and deployment of emerging technologies.
More than 200 leading investors are expected to participate, with the broader forum welcoming over 600 investors, corporate innovation groups, industry leaders, academics, and other members of the energy technology community. Confirmed participants include venture arms and representatives from organizations such as Aramco Ventures, Chevron Technology Ventures, ExxonMobil, Shell Ventures, SLB, Halliburton, Emerson Ventures, and Koch Disruptive Technologies.
SIMACRO will have four minutes to present its vision and demonstrate how ProcessModel V™ (PMV™) helps industrial organizations turn engineering models into continuously operating digital assets. Central to this vision is ModelOps, which provides engineers with a safe staging environment to further validate, fine-tune, and optimize their models so they better align with real-world conditions. By bringing process simulation, data, AI, and model lifecycle management into one collaborative environment, PMV enables companies to validate, deploy, monitor, and scale digital twins across their operations.
In addition to the live pitch at Rice University on September 17, SIMACRO will participate in private Investor and Industry Office Hours at The Ion on September 16. These one-on-one meetings will provide an opportunity to engage directly with investors, corporate partners, and energy industry leaders.
We are grateful to the Rice Alliance for this opportunity and look forward to introducing SIMACRO and PMV to the Houston energy innovation community.
