🌍🌱 Grateful for Houston Climate and Energy Startup Week & New York Climate Week! 🌱🌍 I wanted to take a moment to personally thank everyone involved in both #HoustonClimateEnergyWeek and #NYClimateWeek – from the brilliant organizers to the forward-thinking companies and engaged attendees. It’s been a truly transformative experience, and I’m deeply grateful for the meaningful conversations and connections we’ve had. 🚀 Personal Highlights 🚀 A few moments really stood out to me: 1️⃣ Cross-industry Collaboration: Seeing such a diverse range of industries coming together was nothing short of inspiring. From renewable energy to innovative materials, it reminded me that collaboration across sectors is not just desirable – it’s essential. I’m excited to keep these dialogues going as we all work towards common climate goals. 2️⃣ The Role of Startups: #Houston, in particular, highlighted the dynamism of the startup ecosystem. I met so many incredible founders and teams who are relentlessly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. It’s clear that startups are playing a leading role in tackling climate change head-on, and I’m proud that Biosimo is a part of that movement. 3️⃣ Scaling Decarbonization: In #NewYork, the focus on large-scale decarbonization and policy alignment was incredibly encouraging. The discussions around public-private collaboration confirmed that the groundwork for a net-zero future is being laid, and it’s inspiring to see so many stakeholders involved. 🔬 On Behalf of Biosimo 🔬 At Biosimo, we are committed to reimagining the chemical industry through sustainable, bio-based solutions. We’re developing non-toxic, scalable alternatives to traditional chemical processes, driving decarbonization from within an industry that touches almost every sector. As we continue to grow, we’re especially excited about expanding our presence in the U.S. market. These events have reinforced the importance of our mission, and we’re eager to be part of the wider sustainability movement here. We’re currently raising our Seed Round, and we’d love to engage with anyone passionate about driving the next wave of climate innovation. 🙌 Shout-outs to all the brilliant individuals and organizations I had the pleasure of meeting. I look forward to continuing the conversations and building something great together.
