Dear Friends of Greentown Houston,

This Sept. 9-13 is the inaugural Houston Energy and Climate Startup Week, which we’re proudly launching with Halliburton Labs and The Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship! The week will bring together leading energy and climate investors, industry leaders, and startups from across the globe to showcase and discuss the most innovative energy transition technologies.

We’re excited to announce that to close out the week, Greentown Houston will host our first-ever Climate Impact Awards Dinner on Sept. 13.

This semi-formal dinner celebrating our 75+ startups’ impact will feature a cocktail hour and sit-down dinner, a distinguished speaker, music and dancing, and a silent auction. It will also honor Greentown members in categories including “Top Startup to Watch,” “Community Champion,” “Deployment of the Year,” and more, as voted on by Greentown’s startup community.

Greentown Labs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit accelerating climatetech innovation and commercialization by empowering entrepreneurs and enabling collaboration. The Climate Impact Awards Dinner is Greentown Houston’s largest fundraising event and helps make our work possible.

You can support this fundraiser by:

We hope to see you at this and other upcoming events. As always, thank you for your commitment to climate action!

Warmly,
The Greentown Team
