The World of Climate Has been Rocked, It’s Go Time!
'The World of Climate Has Been Rocked, It’s Go Time!' will focus on strategies, tactics and goals for climate tech startups to thrive these next 4 years and beyond. We will gather top leaders from both sides of the aisle to share bi-partisan insights and actions to help you deliver climate success.
What is it?
An unconventional meeting of the minds where policy, energy abundance, efficiency, and resilience intersect, with AI and automation leading the way.
Lets Explore Together:
Will Washington really kill the IRA or is it all pomp and circumstance?
How do we shift our messaging to thrive in the Trump MAGA era and yet still be authentic with and crush our goals?
What is the most impactful climate tech we should be doubling down on and what should we finally drop?
What challenges do you face? Small groups of peers will help brainstorm solutions.
Program:
