Startup Showcase: Circular Economy in the Buildings Sector
Join us to celebrate the culmination of Go Build 2023, a Greentown Go startup-corporate partnerships accelerator program focused on advancing circularity and decarbonization in the built environment, in partnership with Saint-Gobain.
Go Build is a program that aims to decarbonize the buildings sector through innovation. Buildings are responsible for 39 percent of CO2 emissions globally, with a staggering 11 percent of global emissions coming from the construction of buildings and manufacturing of building materials. To change this, we need innovations that reinvent how buildings and their materials are planned, built, sourced, and managed.
Greentown Labs and Saint-Gobain have supported six innovative startups to accelerate the commercialization of technologies seeking to extend product life cycles, further develop raw materials, revalorize waste, or act as other enabling technologies. Attendees will hear the Go Build 2023 cohort speak about their innovations, their work with Saint-Gobain, and where they are headed next.
