Hi everyone! In collaboration with the Austin Climate Hub, very excited to announce a special panel and happy hour Thursday, Feb 22nd, on climate-tech investing, “Why Invest in Climate-tech now? A new Era for climate investing” Whether you are a climate OG or just climate-curious, please join us for drinks, food, community and a great discussion on an exciting moment in climate-tech. Sponsored by Pillsbury Law and JPMorgan. In this panel we will explore the technologies, trends and opportunities defining a new era in climate-tech: cost-curves falling precipitously following Moore's law. Exponential growth across sectors driven by superior economics and a range financial, social and cultural imperatives. Fundamentally new business models, and opportunities for innovation and investment being created by maturing supply chains and technologies. After a decades-long, hard slog, climate-tech has reached its “internet” moment. Forget the old tropes of capital intensive science projects or economics dependent on policy or regulation. Today, a once in a generation explosion of new companies and business models are being forged focused on digital, software solutions, business model innovations and financial innovation. Join us for an exciting discussion on these topics. In addition to the panel discussion, this event will be an opportunity to build connectivity through out Austin’s climate-tech ecosystem. Please join us to connect with start-ups, investors, corporates, OEMs, academics and other key players in the climate space.
