Physical AI in the Fight For Sustainability
While we're all familiar with AI on our screens, a new frontier is emerging where AI is helping tackle problems in the physical world. And as the world scrambles to fight the impacts of our society on our planet, a new era of technologies are emerging to bring radical advancement to the physical, real-world industries that most need the help.
Join us to explore the advancements, potential and limitations of physical AI in this conversation with the Founder of Glacier, a robotics startup bringing automation, AI, and modern engineering to waste management. Glacier is designing and deploying intelligent robots that work alongside humans to make sorting faster, safer, and smarter—proving that frontier technology can scale even in the most legacy industries.
We’ll discuss:
The physical and operational challenges of innovating within legacy infrastructure
Building and scaling full-stack robotics systems (hardware + AI + ops)
Lessons from startup life: fundraising, partnerships, and go-to-market
The future of automation in industrial and climate-critical sectors
Whether you’re a founder, operator, builder, or investor in AI, climate, or industrial tech—this conversation is about tech that truly moves the needle.
