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.
See the organizations that will be in the room listed below!
Each competing startup demoer is developing moonshot innovations originating in university research labs that will help address pressing resilience challenges across:
Climate & Natural Disasters
Energy, Water, Telecom, and AI Infrastructure
Industrial Processes & Supply Chains
Agriculture & Biodiversity
Resilience technologies are solutions that mitigate risk by anticipating, absorbing, adapting to, and recovering from significant disruptions and growing friction due to climate and other external factors.
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:
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.
