No Shortcuts: A Candid Panel on Commercializing Climate Tech
Aire Labs, Amplify Capital, and Climate Tech Canada are bringing together investors, lenders, developers, and operators for a candid conversation on what it really takes to get a first-of-a-kind climate technology to commercial scale.
Getting a climate technology to commercial is one of the hardest things to do in this industry. The path is full of compounding challenges: engineering assumptions that don't survive contact with a real site, business development cycles that stretch years before a single contract closes, supply chains and permitting processes that can unravel a project long after the financing is in place, and capital markets that still don't know how to price any of it. This panel digs into where things actually break, why the first project is categorically harder than every one that follows, and what the people who've lived it wish they'd known earlier. Expect real opinions and some uncomfortable ones.
Format: Moderated panel discussion followed by open networking
Audience: Climate infrastructure founders, project developers, venture investors, debt providers, and ecosystem partners
