Hannan Happi, CEO and Co-Founder of Exowatt, Among the Most Exceptional Entrepreneurs at 2026 Builders and Innovators Summit
MIAMI, FL, October 14, 2026 – Today Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) is recognizing Hannan Happi, CEO and Co-Founder of Exowatt, as one of the Most Exceptional Entrepreneurs of 2026 at its Builders and Innovators Summit in Healdsburg, California.
Goldman Sachs selected honorees from multiple industries for the two-day event. Happi co-founded Exowatt in 2023 with Atomic CEO Jack Abraham. The company’s mission is to make clean energy that’s always available and nearly free. Exowatt’s flagship technology, the Exowatt P3, is a modular sunlight-to-power system. It captures solar energy, stores it as heat and sends out electricity whenever it’s needed, which gives AI data centers a reliable, fast-to-deploy alternative to an overloaded power grid.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by Goldman Sachs alongside this year’s exceptional entrepreneurs,” said Hannan Happi, CEO and Co-Founder of Exowatt. “AI is creating demand for power faster than the grid can be built, making energy the defining constraint of this era. At Exowatt, we believe the answer is to manufacture energy infrastructure like a product: standardized, repeatable, and increasingly affordable at scale. AI is where we’re starting, but our goal is bigger: a world where energy no longer limits human progress.”
“We are pleased to recognize Exowatt as one of the most exceptional entrepreneurs of 2026,” said David Solomon, Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs. “As AI reshapes the global landscape, the leaders at Exowatt are proving that agility and vision can be the ultimate competitive advantages. They are not simply building a great enterprise; they are redefining what is possible in their industry.”
Now in its 15th year, Goldman Sachs’ Builders and Innovators Summit is the can’t-miss gathering for Founders and CEOs of hypergrowth companies. Previous honorees have gone on to successfully lead multi-billion dollar companies, both in the private and public markets. In addition to honoring the most exceptional entrepreneurs each year, the Summit consists of general sessions and clinics led by seasoned entrepreneurs, academics and business leaders as well as resident scholars.
