Thursday, May 6 | 3 p.m. CT / 4 p.m. ET

Join us on Thursday, May 6 for the Carbon to Value Initiative Kickoff Event!

The Carbon to Value (C2V) Initiative is a multi-year collaboration between The Urban Future Lab (UFL), Greentown Labs, and the Fraunhofer USA TechBridge Program. This unique partnership is driving the creation of a thriving innovation ecosystem for the commercialization of carbontech — technologies that capture, convert and store carbon dioxide (CO₂) into valuable end products or services. The C2V Initiative is supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the Consulate General of Canada in New York.

Join us as we welcome the first cohort of startups to this exciting new program, which will connect them with experts, resources, and programming to help them achieve their commercial and technical milestones!
