About Event

​Groundbreaking climate tech won't move the needle if people don't understand why they should care.

​In this practical session with Curious Ant founder Robert Birnbach, you'll learn how to move beyond talking about your technology and build a clear, compelling brand around the problem you solve, the people you solve it for, and the values that drive your company. You'll see how to connect your environmental impact to the broader business story, understand what actually matters to your customers, and adapt your story for different audiences without losing the core idea.

​You'll leave with a clearer, more compelling story you can use right away with customers, investors, and your team.
