Avenu Workspaces

Sometimes it is hard to figure out what to be really excited about as so many of the issues of our day are so complex. Let me tell you about what I'm excited about - the climatetech entrepreneurial community in Pittsburgh. Many great researchers from CMU Scott Institute for Energy Innovation become entrepreneurs as they take their amazing knowledge and transition it into commercialization. Nothing is more exciting than decarbonization when we think about the future of our world! Big thanks to InnovatePGH, Avenu Workspaces, Third Derivative and Climate Tech Cocktails for bringing together a great group of Pittsburghers in the Climatetech space to discuss what needs to happen to propel the climatetech ecosystem in our region. Pittsburgh has been a leader in the many energy transitions, so excited to be a part of the transition to decarbonization.
