NY Tech Meetup - Climate Tech Edition
Join us for the September edition of the NY Tech Meetup, where we’re partnering with Campus Deep Tech.
This NY Tech Meetup includes a few special elements including an expert panel on resilience and the future of climate tech and a startup pitch competition.
Each competing startup demoer is developing moonshot innovations originating in university research labs that will help address pressing industry & community resilience challenges across:
Climate & Natural Disasters
Energy, Water, and Data Infrastructure
Industrial Processes & Supply Chains
Agriculture & Biodiversity
Resilience technologies are solutions that mitigate risk by anticipating, absorbing, adapting to, and recovering from catastrophic events and mounting headwinds.
Climate change has a cascading impact destabilizing natural and human systems. As risk & volatility continue to rise, new solutions will be needed to adapt.
Campus Deep Tech helps deep tech startups working on impactful technologies connect with industry & investors through its cross-university network.
This is an unmatched opportunity to present on stage during the biggest climate event of the year. Startups interested in presenting should submit an interest form here: https://luma.com/tbo854x6
This special event also kicks off a series of programs at Civic Hall during Climate Tech Week, highlighting the talent, ideas, and collaborations driving climate innovation.
This centrally located event is a must-attend for founders, investors, technologists, corporate leaders, educators, and policymakers.
