SUMMARY:Innovating with Amazon: CO₂ Utilization in the Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:Kick off Go Build 2026 at Greentown Boston!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  REGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us to celebrate the kickoff of Go Build 2026\, an open-innovation program with Amazon and the Global CO2 Initiative (GCI) at the University of Michigan aimed at accelerating collaborations with startups in the field of CO2 utilization.  \n\n\n\nWe need innovative technologies to build a decarbonized future. At this event\, attendees will hear lightning pitches from startup participants working on CO2-mineralization technologies to decarbonize the built environment.  \n\n\n\nWe look forward to seeing you at Greentown Boston to build community around this exciting program!  \n\n\n\n\nRead the cohort announcement\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda (in ET):\n\n\n\n\n5:30 – 6:00 p.m. Check-in and networking\n\n\n\n6:00 – 6:13 p.m. Opening remarks\n\nGeorgina Campbell Flatter\, CEO at Greentown Labs\n\n\n\nJoanna Hamid\, Principal Technical Infrastructure Program Manager\, Global Realty Sustainability at Amazon\n\n\n\n\n\n6:13 – 6:30 p.m. Startup introduction and pitches featuring:\n\nCarbon Infuse (Brooklyn\, New York\, U.S.) develops a novel CO2 mineralization technology that upcycles industrial waste and flue gas into cheaper and cleaner materials for construction and manufacturing.\n\n\n\nCarbon Negative Solutions (Portland\, Oregon\, U.S.) converts any region’s industrial wastes and minerals into carbon-negative cement supplements (SCMs).\n\n\n\nCarbon To Stone (Tappan\, New York\, U.S.) converts industrial residues and CO₂ into lower-carbon construction materials for cement and concrete production.\n\n\n\nLow Carbon Materials (Durham\, United Kingdom) develops a proprietary range of carbon-sequestering aggregate-like additives for concrete and asphalt.\n\n\n\nNeocrete (Auckland\, New Zealand) develops an additive that makes low-carbon materials (SCMs) behave like cement\, reducing the carbon and cost of concrete while making it more durable.\n\n\n\n\n\n6:30 – 7:30 p.m. Networking\n\n\n\n\nAbout Amazon\n\n\n\nAmazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus\, passion for invention\, commitment to operational excellence\, and long-term thinking. Amazon strives to be Earth’s Most Customer-Centric Company\, Earth’s Best Employer\, and Earth’s Safest Place to Work. Customer reviews\, 1-Click shopping\, personalized recommendations\, Prime\, Fulfillment by Amazon\, AWS\, Kindle Direct Publishing\, Kindle\, Career Choice\, Fire tablets\, Fire TV\, Amazon Echo\, Alexa\, Just Walk Out technology\, Amazon Studios\, and The Climate Pledge are some of the things pioneered by Amazon. For more information\, visit amazon.com/about and follow @AmazonNews. \n\n\n\nAbout the Global CO₂ Initiative at the University of Michigan\n\n\n\nThe Global CO₂ Initiative at the University of Michigan recognizes that addressing climate change requires using multiple strategies simultaneously. Nature based solutions like planting trees are a necessary part of the solution\, but they are not enough by themselves. By recognizing that excess atmospheric carbon dioxide is a valuable resource for making products\, we can drive billions of dollars in economic development\, help meet our environmental and climate goals\, and ensure reliable supply chains for the future. \n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\nIf you have questions or need to request accommodation\, please reach out to Greentown Labs’ Ecosystem and Events Manager\, Kelly Wilson (kwilson@greentownlabs.com). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue Information \n\n\n\nParking is incredibly limited at Greentown Labs and we encourage attendees to consider taking advantage of public transportation. We’re a short walk from the recently opened Union Square station\, as well as 1 mile away from both the Harvard and Porter MBTA stations. Union Square in Somerville is also easily accessible via the #86 and #91 MBTA buses. We offer bike parking on-site and the closest Bluebikes stations are at Dane St.\, Conway Park and Union Square.
