Our New York program, The Clean Fight, is thrilled to announce the finalists of the Empire Technology Prize! These seven solutions are creating easier pathways to decarbonize the heating of New York’s tall buildings, by working with their existing infrastructure. Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ey-kZgH4 ☀️ Congratulations to our seven finalist teams: Ambient teaming with Flow Environmental Systems and Gil-Bar; AtmosZero; Clean Heat Technologies; ENERIN AS; Hydronic Shell Technologies teaming with Cycle Retrotech; Johnson Controls and Miller Proctor Nickolas, Inc. They'll spend the next year developing their solutions and working with our world-class real estate demonstration partners to look for piloting opportunities – tapping into our US$2M demonstration fund: CBRE Investment Management, Columbia University, Empire State Realty Trust, Fairstead, L+M Development Partners LLC, New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), Rudin, Tishman Speyer, and Vornado Realty Trust. 💡 Buildings are responsible for 70% of NYC’s and a third of the state’s GHG emissions. The tricky thing is, New York’s buildings are primarily heated using steam or high-temperature hot water (not common elsewhere in the world!). This is why we created the Empire Tech Prize. 💚 Thank you to our funders and collaborators for their support: NYSERDA, Wells Fargo, and RMI. Learn more about this program ➡️ www.thecleanfight.com/etp

Five years ago, I embarked on a journey to launch programs in the Philippines to support clean energy entrepreneurs. I left a comfortable role at a large tech startup accelerator, where we enjoyed a steady stream of startup applications, eager partners, and consistent funding. Explaining clean energy and climate tech entrepreneurship has always been challenging. Many energy and climate stakeholders assume we either support big energy companies with technology innovations or fund community projects. In the startup realm, energy was often simplified to solar installations or smart devices for real-time electricity monitoring. Some even advised that there might not be enough startups in the Philippines to sustain our efforts beyond one batch. How different energy businesses are from the usual tech startups I worked with in the past was scary for me. My brain would usually flutter when people I speak with start mentioning capacities like megawatts and kilowatt-hours. I never had any engineering experience yet I needed to explain to people what kinds of startups we are looking for, or explain innovative energy business models to engineering students when we were doing a lot of pipeline building initiatives. Now, five years, five batches of our Startup Accelerator Program, three batches of our Rooftop Solar Innovation Program, one batch of our Energy Efficiency Incubator, hundreds of entrepreneurs, and thousands of program participants later, there is still so much to learn and achieve. Reflecting on these past years, I'm filled with gratitude for the countless memorable moments, both documented and undocumented. The photos from our cohort demo days and program openings encapsulate the spirit of our journey. I am extremely thankful to the numerous individuals and organizations who generously shared their time, networks, and resources, especially in our early days. A heartfelt thanks to the team at New Energy Nexus and everyone who has been part of this journey, no matter how brief their time with us. Here's to five years of growth and innovation, and to many more ahead.
