TRACE THE UNSEEN: Climate Intelligence Build Day
Join us for a one-day, in-person Build Day at the Microsoft Garage in Soho, on Friday September 25th, hosted by the NYU Ethical Tech CoLab as part of Climate Week NYC 2026.
Over a single day, teams will build working prototypes powered by Sayari and Tradeverifyd’s MCP, using entity, ownership, and trade-relationship data to tackle real problems across sourcing, sanctions evasion, transparency, beneficial ownership. You'll go from idea to demo in one sitting, with partner engineers on hand throughout.
Whether you're a developer, designer, domain expert, or just curious, you'll leave having shipped something real: and connected with a community working at the intersection of technology and social impact.
