The U.S. energy sector has entered a critical new phase in which domestic infrastructure deployment is inextricably linked to global competition and national security. The domestic market boasts immense capital ready to deploy toward energy infrastructure, but headwinds are intensifying both from global competitors and U.S. government inaction.  

To help clean energy leaders navigate the landscape and deliver for both investors and consumers, ACORE is thrilled to announce Edward Fishman as a keynote speaker at the upcoming 2026 ACORE Finance Forum on May 14 in New York. 

ACORE Finance Forum Keynote Speaker: Edward Fishman, Senior Fellow and Director of the Maurice R. Greenberg Center for Geoeconomics,
Council on Foreign Relations

Expertise at the Intersection of Policy, Capital, and Geopolitics

Fishman is one of the world’s leading authorities on economic statecraft, serving as a Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and an adjunct professor at Columbia University. He is also the New York Times–bestselling author of Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare.

What This Means for Clean Energy Investment 

As the U.S. races to build a 21st-century grid capable of powering tomorrow’s electricity demand, understanding the mechanics of global trade, sanctions, and economic warfare is a core business imperative. The clean energy industry must continuously navigate complex supply chains, trade restrictions, and tariff discussions. 

Fishman, who actively advises companies on geopolitical strategy, will provide our attendees with critical insights into how to run a business in the midst of global conflict and energy volatility. His expertise will help Finance Forum attendees contextualize how shifting international trade dynamics and global competition will impact project development timelines, capital deployment, and the broader push to win the global energy race.
