TS Conductor is tackling one of the biggest challenges associated with the energy transition: modernizing the grid. TS has developed a novel high-performance conductor that can increase the amount of current carried on transmission lines by up to 3x, leading to a 40% reduction in line energy losses.

Jason Huang is CEO of TS Conductor. Before starting TS Conductor in 2018, Jason worked with U.S. government agencies such as NIST, contributed to special projects for American defense aircraft like the F22 and F35, and held a series of engineering leadership and C-suite roles with advanced energy, chemical, and infrastructure companies.
