HEV Capital Connect 2026

HEV Capital Connect 2026 is a one-day summit organised by Humans of EV that brings together founders, investors, OEMs, and policy voices working on clean mobility and climate-tech. The Indore edition is built around a curated startup–investor matchmaking format, with active funding interest of ₹50 Cr+ already aggregated across the participating investor portfolio.

Who Should Attend The summit is built for early- and growth-stage startups working in clean mobility, AI and mobility intelligence, batteries and energy systems, charging and battery swapping, fleet and logistics tech, climate tech, sustainable infrastructure, and the circular economy. It is also relevant for angel investors, VCs, corporate venture arms, OEM partnership leads, and ecosystem builders scouting the Indian cleantech landscape.

What to Expect The day combines keynotes and panels with a structured startup selection process called the Selection Matrix. Applicants go through an eligibility screen, a 10-minute Virtual Deal Room (Round 1), a deeper evaluation by investors and experts (Round 2), and a final Curated Cohort (Round 3) of startups invited to pitch live on stage to Tier-1 investors. Selected startups receive 2 delegate passes, a live pitch slot, premium networking access over lunch and high-tea, direct introductions to marquee investors, and post-event visibility through digital PR features and inclusion in the event Deal Book.

Visitor passes are available for ecosystem participants who are not pitching. Visitor benefits include a full-day delegate pass to keynotes and panels, exposure to live Tier-1 VC feedback in the pitch sessions, premium hospitality, networking with 150+ curated CleanTech industry leaders, and post-event access to the exclusive "State of CleanTech" report.
