Bridging the Startup and Corporate Divide
August 24 @ 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm ET
Learn how startups and corporates can work better together to accelerate new technology adoption!
Join us on Aug. 24 at Greentown Boston for a discussion that will unlock the potential of corporate and startup partnerships in driving climatetech innovation to new heights.
Hosted in collaboration with ADL Ventures and Azolla Ventures, our expert panel will delve into the strategies, frameworks, and agreement mechanisms that pave the way for low-risk, high-reward partnerships.
This event will provide the opportunity to engage with a dynamic group of utility R&D/innovation leads, visionary investors, and other influential voices in the climatetech ecosystem. Attendees will gain invaluable insights from successful collaborations, as industry leaders share their experiences, lessons learned, and game-changing advice for today’s startups.
Together, we’ll explore commercial frameworks that ignite innovation, mechanisms that minimize risks, and avenues for startups to secure customers beyond the lab.
