It's more important than ever for cleantech companies to have the space, and the resources, to scale quickly. That's why it's so encouraging to see Foresight Canada give a platform to 11 high-impact startups (including Manitoba's own Carbon Lock Tech!). Each startup has the potential to reduce or remove half a gigatonne of CO2e by 2050 - that's the kind of mission-driven growth we need to see more of. There's still time to register for the event and witness the pitches, alongside impact investors in this crucial industry: https://lnkd.in/gUVYqVpP

As Energy & Climatetech is one of the tracks at TechChill, I’ll be out there this week, looking for founders ambitious to ramp up their activities. SFV is in search of just that. A few noteworthy speakers to look out for if you’re attending and are curious about cleantech in general: 📣 Julia Bialetska from S.Lab striking the stage with the topic of “Eco-innovations unwrapped”. A great person, a recognized founder hitting the heights. 📣 Andris K. Berzins from Change Ventures, Jarna Hyvönen from Volare Solutions and Janis Putrams from Aerones are discussing “The dilemma of commercializing deeptech”. It is never an easy task and never should be too easy either, right? 📣 Agate S. Freimane from Norrsken VC brings us insights on “Building a thriving climate economy”. A topic Norrsken is superb at and gets to the nuts and bolts of making a real impact. At side-events: 📣 Beamline Accelerator is hosting the “DeepTech Demo Day”! 📣 EIC dials in on details on “Funding your deeptech startup to scaling in the EU”!

In one week, we’ll hear from Brook Porter (G2 Venture Partners), Cooper Rinzler (Breakthrough Energy ) and Lila Preston (Generation Investment Management) on a live panel in SF discussing climate tech, moderated by Steve LeVine. Over the past decade, a wide range of climate technologies have emerged and are now ready to scale, from solar and wind to batteries and EVs to synthetic biology and AI. The stage is set to re-imagine and re-engineer our industrial economy. Taking technologies from lab to world scale will require more than just technological breakthroughs; they will demand an investment ecosystem capable of addressing their full range of financial needs. This panel of climate tech venture and growth equity veterans will share real-world examples of climate startups scaling, highlighting the importance of collaboration and how the sector might navigate this year and beyond.
