RE&IC + PowerOptions Reverse Pitch

​Most events like this ask innovators to pitch. This one starts with the problems.

​PowerOptions asked its members what's actually standing between them and progress on energy resilience and building decarbonization. Three themes came back:

​Electrification is costly and slow. Electrical upgrades and utility transformer work add real money and months to a project, and can make a promising one feel out of reach.

​Untapped energy is all around us. Wastewater facilities, farms, and other operations throw off excess heat every day. What would it take to capture it and put it to work for the community?

​Schools are positioned to lead. With the right approach, a school can be a resilience hub, a net-zero demonstration, and a training ground for the next clean-energy workforce. The challenge is making that vision practical.

​Beacon Climate Innovations' Resilient Energy & Infrastructure Consortium (RE&IC) is bringing climatetech innovators to respond to those challenges directly. You'll hear from startups developing solutions to each one, and leave with approaches you can explore for your own organization or community.

​Whether you're a facilities director, a sustainability lead, a school administrator, or a municipal decision-maker, this hour is built around the obstacles you're already facing.
