Mark Your Calendar for Climatetech Networking
Dear Friends of Greentown Labs,
Our community of entrepreneurs is hard at work this summer, developing innovations ranging from?smart sensors for wind turbines , to?energy-efficient air conditioning , to a combo of?water desalination and carbon capture .
Take?Active Surfaces , whose?solar modules are 100x lighter than traditional solar panels , without sacrificing any efficiency and with a cost floor below what’s in the market now. The startup’s working toward a future where solar could be put atop every warehouse and distribution center in the United States—which would?reportedly ?generate enough energy to power all homes in each state’s largest city.
Or check in with?EarthBond , a startup?leveraging solar financing to replace businesses’ diesel- and petrol-generator use in “under-grided” areas of Nigeria . The startup’s tackling a major climate and financial problem:?86 percent ?of companies in Nigeria use a generator, and a 2019 International Monetary Fund?report ?put the annual economic cost of inaccessible or unreliable electricity at $29B.?
Active Surfaces and EarthBond are both part of the inaugural cohort of?ACCEL , an accelerator from Greentown and?Browning the Green Space ?that supports BIPOC-led startups. Join us at Greentown Houston on?Sept. 12 for the ACCEL Showcase ?to hear from the six participating startups!
Looking for additional opportunities to network with our entrepreneurs? Our?events calendar ?is jam-packed; read on for our late summer and fall lineup.?
We also have two application deadlines approaching before summer wraps up:?
As always, thank you for your commitment to climate action—we hope to see you at an event soon!
Warmly,
The Greentown Labs Team
