Cities are key areas of innovation for a low-carbon future 🏙️ Rushad Nanavatty, Managing Director of Third Derivative, presented with Gehl - Making Cities for People and World Resources Institute at kyu Collective for #NYCW on the importance of reshaping cities to reclaim our climate destiny. “Design has a critical role to play, and no form of design is more important than the design of our cities. Done right, they are profoundly good for the planet.”

Lights, Camera, (Climate) Action! 🎥 🌎 This week, Third Derivative’s Caroline Winslow spoke on two #NYCW panels — Futerra Solution House's “Sustainable TV and Film Production” and RMI’s “Re-Energize Corporate Action” – about the Clean Mobile Power Initiative’s work to decarbonize the film and TV industry. Learn more about the ten Third Derivative startups transforming this space: https://lnkd.in/g5rzrExp “Partnerships are key here. The Clean Mobile Power Initiative is a case in point… Partnerships are critical for demonstrating not only the power in the market signal from a deployment perspective, but particularly in film and TV, most productions use the same suppliers, so it’s essential to get everyone on board and moving towards the same solutions.”

Need help deploying your first commercial-scale climate tech project? 🤝 Introducing Mark1 – a transformative new developer-as-a-service for capital intensive, first of a kind industrial climate technologies 🌟 Mark1 was created by Third Derivative, RMI, and Deep Science Ventures, alongside founding partners Builders Vision and Fluor Corporation, to bridge the gap to commercialization for critical emerging climate tech. “The gap between demonstration and commercialization is the deepest, widest ‘valley-of-death’ faced by our founders – and a critical bottleneck to the energy transition. Our back-of-the-envelope math tells us that we’re only seeing 1-17% of the funding the world needs for first-of-a-kind commercial climate tech projects. It’s a systemic challenge. Isolated success stories are not going to cut it, and neither is simply throwing money at the problem. We need a systemic solution – one that can methodically de-risk and attract market-rate capital to these projects – lots of them. We believe that Mark1 can be that solution, or at least an important part of it.” - Rushad Nanavatty, Managing Director of Third Derivative Learn more about Mark1: https://www.mark1.build/ 🚀 Applications for its first cohort will open later this year!
