Dentons Smart Cities & Connected Communities Think Tank

Virtual Fireside Chat with Dr. Lawrence Jones, Co-Founder of the Energy Plexus Institute

Geopolitics and geoeconomics are reshaping how the economy—and society—will function for decades, exposing critical interdependencies and structural vulnerabilities across sectors long managed in isolation. Addressing these challenges requires new forms of international, cross-sector collaboration. This fireside chat features Clint Vince, Chair of the Dentons US Energy Practice, and Dr. Lawrence Jones, co-founder of the Energy Plexus Institute (EPI). EPI is the new global platform that enables energy system-centric collaboration by convening the broader energy ecosystem—including critical industries, investors, policymakers, and technology leaders—to navigate complex interdependencies between energy, water, transport, digital infrastructure, and industrial sectors, while accounting for regional differences. The discussion will explore why EPI was formed, the long-term challenges it is designed to address, and how it differs from traditional energy-focused organizations. Watch the conversation to learn how EPI connects industries, translates insight into action, and delivers durable value for its members and the communities they serve.
