Sustainability has been at the forefront of technical innovation for decades. However, as emissions, plastic and chemical pollution, climate changes, and supply chain demands continue to increase, the pressure to make radical change continues to rise year after year. As climate-focused funding grows at an unprecedented rate and government backed plans like the Inflation Reduction Act are passed, many are speculating that conditions are right for climate tech to emerge as the innovative leader in tackling our top sustainability crises.
Join us on April 6th at 11am PST/ 2pm EST as we meet with some of the top innovators and leaders in sustainability to discuss how innovations in sustainable tech are helping to tackle our current climate crisis.
