The Role of Detroit

Detroit's rich history of innovation and its significant Black and ethnic minority population make it the ideal location for RECESS24. Known as "the city that put the world on wheels," Detroit is now paving the way as a technology and innovation hub, perfectly embodying the summit's themes of equity, resilience, and innovation in clean energy. This backdrop not only enriches the conference experience but also reinforces our commitment to inclusivity and community-focused growth in the clean energy sector.
