PNW Battery Collaborative Meetup
What: The Pacific Northwest is rapidly emerging as a major center for battery innovation in the U.S. The PNW Battery Collaborative invites the region’s top battery entrepreneurs, scientists, investors, and enthusiasts to connect and position the PNW as the nation's leading net-zero battery hub.
Why: Join us for an evening mixer with fellow battery innovators to exchange ideas, spark new partnerships, and explore opportunities to launch the next big breakthrough in battery technology. We'll also have a round of lightning talks (2-5 mins each) and brainstorm the future structure of the PNW Battery Collaborative.
Who: Open to all PNW locals actively involved in developing, deploying, or advancing battery technology across various sectors.
Where: Grayson Shor (Amazon WW Operations' circular economy and battery sustainability lead) and Lowell Bander (9Zero's Seattle General Manager) are co-hosting this event at 9Zero's new Seattle Climate Innovation Hub located at 1215 4th Ave. We'll meet on the 15th floor inside the events space.
