Our own Peter Boyd on the ground at #COP29!

The climate tech ecosystem in Connecticut is like a carefully crafted fine wine—complex, interconnected, and more powerful because of the distinct elements working in harmony. Each organization and individual plays a critical role in supporting students and ideas that are accelerating critical climate tech solutions at Yale and across New Haven, and ultimately for the planet. Through these connections, entrepreneurs are not just building companies; they are creating the future of climate innovation; and are creating the future of what environmental impact means. Here’s the story of one such innovator: Harrison Meyer, Cofounder of Oxylus Energy https://lnkd.in/e9w9byeN #JointDegreeProgram #ClimateInnovation
