Cleantech Connections - Reverse Pitch
Are you an innovator ready to work on energy and climate challenges?
Come hear from leading companies, academic partners, and local governments about the most pressing challenges they face in the cleantech space and what innovative solutions may help meet consumer and environmental demands.
Date: March 20, 2024 | 8:30-11:00 AM in-person (zoom program 9:00-10:00 AM)
Location: Sunrise Banks corporate office, 2525 Wabash Ave, St Paul, MN 55114
What is a reverse pitch?
Instead of having innovators pitch to potential investors and partners, decision-makers from both the public and private sectors will speak to cleantech challenges facing their organizations. Audience members will be able to engage with speakers and explore whether they have solutions to the challenges presented.
Who should attend?
- Cleantech startups ready for innovation opportunities.
- Industry professionals seeking to drive impactful change.
- Academic and research-minded individuals with a passion for sustainability.
- Entrepreneurs looking to pivot into energy and cleantech.
- Anyone passionate about shaping the future of our planet.
