​To build a strong, resilient climate tech ecosystem in NC, we need density of trust.

​This facilitated lunch is designed to spark real connection from the start. Through guided conversations and small group exchanges, founders and ecosystem leaders will quickly get to know each other, surface shared priorities, and identify where collaboration can happen now—not months from now.

​Expect a dynamic, come-and-go friendly format that meets the moment: people arriving, grabbing lunch, and jumping into conversations that actually matter.

​Noa Ronen, MCC, MBA, is back to partner with Carolina Climate, bringing her peer-to-peer ripple approach that connects people, resources, and ideas well beyond the room.

​Come ready to connect!
