Great discussion and thanks for visiting us Paddy Matter Grünliberale Partei Schweiz. On that note, I love the increasing realization that, while #regulations such as the #EUMR #methane regulation, have a role ot play in fighting the climate crisis, however: 1. The regulations should correct the financial-only perspective that companies typically have. They should do #justenough, and not too much. 2. The financial incentives (fines/taxes..) should be at the point where they can create the maximum #impact. In case of methane emissions, this point is rather upstream in the supply chain. #Switzerland is still lagging on such a regulation to decrease #GHG emissions, even though it stands to experience a high impact of #globalwarming (think of melting glaciers).

If you know me, you’re aware that summer is always the high season for scouting startups 🙅♀️ 🏖️ We’ve officially kicked off the ClimateX Accelerator last week, meaning that the hectic selection ''season'' is finally over. Months of scouting and thoughtful curation went into selecting these teams, I can only be proud of us: To Florencia, who took as many calls as me to make my summer less hectic and to Darius for his wise advice and constant drive to make our program even better. Here are my key takeaways: 1️⃣ Handpicked Connections This year, we focused on quality over quantity, making direct connections at key events and bringing those startups to ours. This approach allowed us to engage with teams that are truly pushing the boundaries in climate tech. 2️⃣ Partnering with Ecosystem Leaders Long-standing partnerships helped us identify innovative teams and game-changing solutions. Our alumni acted as ambassadors, and our mentors were invaluable in helping us find the next gems. A huge thank you to Christoph Rohde Christoph Raethke Rita Katona Martin Valkov Mika Sagindyk Udi G. and many more! 3️⃣ Supporting Female Founders We made a concerted effort to boost female founder participation this year. By starting early conversations with female-led climate tech startups and planting the seed for future female founders, we were able to double the number of female founders in this new cohort. 🎁 Bonus Insight: Crossing Borders Sometimes it’s not just about talking to teams at your event—it’s about crossing borders and thinking outside of the box. One of our team relocated to Berlin just for the program. I wasn’t sure if they’d make it in time, but the magic of Europe made it possible. I’m excited to see how these teams grow and thrive in the coming months. As they integrate into our ecosystem and cohort, I’m confident they will continue to push boundaries and drive impactful change. Let’s get this started! 💪🏻

🌟 Celebrating Success in Climate Tech and Innovation 🌟 A massive congratulations to the Ministry of Awesome for the sold-out Electrify conference, which brought together 600 incredible women on Wednesday. The excitement continued with the Climate Tech Summit, a stellar event delivered in partnership between Creative HQ, WellingtonNZ, and Climate Salad. Read More: https://lnkd.in/gS58AM-i Highlights included Mick Liubinskas of Climate Salad discussing the need for many ideas to address the cascading climate crises, emphasising that each of us should focus on one critical aspect—exactly what Alimentary Systems is dedicated to with our freshwater solution. Abby Thompson from Miruku highlighted the benefits of mixed-use farming over monoculture for better land use and productivity. Meeting Sean Simpson of LanzaTech; his insights from LanzaTech’s journey and advice on positioning our business were invaluable and will shape our current capital raise.

Last few generations of our #innovations, mainly those that help us generate and consume massive amount of energy, brought us into the #climatecrisis, and the next generation of innovations, rightly called #climatetech, will get us out of it. Ranging from energy, materials, efficiency, data, and more... climate tech is also developing into a major economic engine. It is also crucial for India to take bold steps in scaling this industry and becoming a world leader in it. Through this partnership Lodha x Third Derivative, we are opening up opprtunities for innovators and industry to pilot and scale solutions in built environment not only in India (where unprecedented levels of urbanization is happening) but across the world. Lodha and RMI, RMI India are committed through Lodha Net Zero Urban Accelerator to support this engagement. Rushad Nanavatty, Akshima Ghate, Tarun Garg, Akhil Singhal, Sai Sri Harsha Pallerlamudi, Ankit Kalanki, Sukanya Paciorek, Victor Olgyay, Brett Bridgeland, Lindsay Rasmussen, Carie Davis, Jamie Hankins, Alexandra Khripko, Ryan Laemel, Shatakshi Suman, Tejaswini Dave, Atul Patil
