Tough Tech Meets Climate
Moving from "pilot purgatory" to commercial readiness is a bumpy road — and one that requires simultaneous supply chain coordination, financing, partnerships, policy engagement, and team buy-in... all while trying to balance the books. We hear time and again that for startups at the intersection of climate and other sectors, how fast they can cruise through this process is make or break. And speed is more important than ever.
For this Climate Salon, we're teaming up with Fidelity Private Shares and Mintz to discuss what it takes to enable more hardware startups to scale, faster. We'll look at topics that cut across climate and other sectors:
Financing the scale-up journey
Building for resiliency & adaptation
Extracting, mining & refining critical minerals
Energy systems
