Dear Friends of Greentown,

It was wonderful to see so many of you during CERAWeek this month. We were thrilled to have more than 35 Greentown startups showcase at the Innovation Agora, and dozens of members joined the climatetech ecosystem for a night of networking at our annual CERAWeek Transition On Tap (a big thank you to Trade & Invest British Columbia for sponsoring that event)!

The Greentown team enjoyed events throughout the week, including:

The Energy Venture Day Pitch Competition from the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship, the Houston Energy Transition Initiative (HETI), and TEX-E—congratulations to the winners, including Greentown alumni Mitico and Carbon Negative Solutions;
Panels featuring our CEO Georgina Campbell Flatter and Board Chair Bobby Tudor;
The MIT Climate & Energy Ventures and Climate and Energy Prize Reunion;
A 5k run with HETI, our alum Fervo Energy, and New Climate Ventures;
And a visit to Greentown Houston from Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek, her team, and leaders from Calgary Economic Development!

Ready to keep the momentum for energy innovation going? We have a great spring lineup of events for you, and recently shared news on our annual Climatetech Summit—read on for more details!

Warmly,
The Greentown Team

ICYMI: Climatetech Summit 2025 Announced

Last week, we announced the dates for the sixth annual Greentown Labs Climatetech Summit—Nov. 4 in Houston and Nov. 6 in Boston!

Climatetech Summit is our largest event of the year and the premier gathering of climate and energy entrepreneurs, investors, corporate leaders, and policymakers accelerating the energy transformation.

The world is at an inflection point: there’s an unprecedented demand for energy globally, emissions must be drastically reduced, and resilience has never been more critical. We’ll dive into these challenges and opportunities together at Climatetech Summit, and emerge with tangible actions to foster more collaboration.

Step into our incubators for a day of hands-on exploration of climatetech solutions from 200+ startups, insightful keynotes and discussions with industry leaders, and unparalleled networking opportunities!
