Nine Early-Stage Startups from Yale’s Climate Tech Ecosystem Pitch Groundbreaking Innovations to Address the Climate Crisis, in Collaboration with Yale Planetary Solutions and Yale Innovation Centers.

In an exciting future showcase of climate action and innovation, nine of Yale’s most promising climate tech companies will come together at the Yale Climate Ventures Showcase on September 27 during Climate Week NYC to present their groundbreaking solutions for a more sustainable future. Hosted in collaboration with Yale Planetary Solutions, the Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale, the Yale Center for Business and the Environment, and Yale Ventures, the event will highlight the importance of innovation in addressing the climate crisis. Yale students, faculty, and alumni will deliver 2-minute pitches, showcasing early-stage ventures from the university’s vibrant climate tech ecosystem.
