T-Swap is excited to kick off its new Industry Meet-Up Series with Francis Wang, PhD, CEO of NanoGraf Corporation, a leading climate-tech company transforming the future of energy storage.
From 2019-2025, he guided the company from early-stage development to commercialization, raising $200+ million in funding and scaling NanoGraf into a globally recognized clean-tech leader. Under his leadership, NanoGraf was named to TIME Magazine’s 2025 Top Global Clean Tech Companies, and Dr. Wang has been recognized by Axios and Forbes as a top entrepreneur. Beyond NanoGraf, Dr. Wang serves on the Board of Trustees at Illinois Institute of Technology, advises the Ed Kaplan Family Institute for Innovation and Tech Entrepreneurship, and is a member of the Economic Club of Chicago.
This conversation will explore how climate-tech companies scale, the role of energy storage in the clean-energy transition, and what it takes to build careers at the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
