Today, Governor Polis and the Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) announced two strategic proposals identified through the Colorado TechHubNow! Initiative applied to the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) to secure federal designation as Regional Technology and Innovation Hubs (Tech Hubs): the Colorado Cleanrange Consortium, representing advanced energy and cleantech industries, and Elevate Quantum. Review how these applications further cement Colorado’s position as a national leader in expanding U.S.-based technology and innovation while diversifying our state’s economy and creating new, good-paying jobs at home. 👇 https://lnkd.in/ej8mMWCu

🌍 Exciting News!📣 Cleantech for Nordics - the Breakthrough Energy backed coalition which we in PSV DeepTech is a part of - proudly presents our manifesto for the 2024 #EUelections, urging political candidates to champion EU's climate leadership! 🌱 With climate being part of our investment focus it is natural for PSV DeepTech to push this agenda. With the EU elections on the horizon, Cleantech for Nordics emphasizes the urgency of prioritizing #cleantech innovation and growth, highlighting its pivotal role in job creation, economic growth, and tackling climate change. We urge #policymakers to make cleantech a top priority in this election movement and boldly lead this industrial transition. We invite aspiring EU candidates from the Nordics to join us and pledge their support for this vision, and would like to highlight three key areas of focus: 1️⃣ Fostering a Robust Cleantech Ecosystem. The Nordics boasts a strong cleantech landscape with companies attracting significant investment and contributing to our economy. To scale this sector, additional funding is imperative and we need an active EU cleantech investment strategy. Not only will this help us in tackling climate change, it will also foster job growth and boost export revenues.💸📈 2️⃣ The EU Common Market Drives Cleantech Growth. The EU common market serves as a crucial platform for Nordic cleantech companies to expand globally. With strong EU leadership, the EU can be the world’s best growth market for cleantech fostering innovation and growth across the region. 🌍💡 3️⃣ Clear, Predictable, and Harmonized Policies. Long-term stability is essential for guiding investors and industry effectively. Let’s ensure clear, predictable, and harmonized policies to drive the cleantech transition. 📜🔍 Join us in shaping the future of Europe and paving the way to a sustainable future!🚀🌿 #DeepTech #Climate #Nordics #EU #PSVDeepTech Breakthrough Energy Julia Reinaud Mariano Berkenwald Markus Hökfelt Anna Lundin Veronica Wänman Peter Hirsch Carin Elisabeth Breitholtz Eivind Olsen Jan-Olaf Willums Fredrika Svanholm Tuomas Oksanen Jussi Teijonsalo Henri Isohanni Niko Elers Ben Murphy Helga Valfells Marianne Hyltoft Jakob Rybak-Andersen Agnethe Leonora Hjarnø Boysen Søren Jessen Nielsen Jacob Graves Beck

Join us for the Japan Society of Northern California event hosted at our Venture Lab Silicon Valley office next Monday 3/4 from 3pm-6pm. 🌍 Together Towards a Greener Future! 🌱 In March 2022, a Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) was signed between the two governments. This MOC covers climate change, trade and investment, renewable energy, energy storage, and business exchange, including: zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), high-speed rail (HSR), public transportation, and water conservation and management. Following this MOC, in March 2023, Lt. Governor Kounalakis conducted a large scale of trade missions to Japan. As another year has passed since then, this seminar is being held to commemorate these achievements and strengthen the momentum of cooperation between Japan and California. Please join us for a program that will bring together Japanese ClimateTech/Energy multinational corporations and ClimateTech start-ups. In this exciting reverse pitch session, large Japanese manufacturers will take the stage to share what kinds of technologies and startup partners they are eager to seek, present collaborative use cases, discuss the challenges they are facing, and more! Several innovative start-ups will also present their pitches and discuss collaboration cases within Japanese companies. To close the session, several VCs will evaluate the latest ClimateTech trends and discuss how to enhance open innovation between large corporations and start-ups during a panel discussion.

If you want to eduction yourself on the Hydrogen Economy Disruption Magazine Canada has a super interesting article on it ( other topics). Projected to be huge as part of net zero initiatives. Great read 👍 #venture #hydrogentechnology #hydrogen #hydrogeneconomy

There is an important focus on #climate, #impact and #sustainability in everything that we do today. I'm so proud of our latest issue of Disruption Magazine Canada and the stories we get to tell about innovations propelling us towards a net-zero future. Check it out, and as always, let me know if you have ideas for future issues!

One of the major assets we have to accelerate #decarbonisation is #carbon2product technology, it's as simple as this: why the venture capital still ignore these fields of application or confine them to niches? At PROTe-IN we can put to use 1.8 kg of flue gas/captured #CO2 per kilo of SC #protein we harvest! People should queue to in-set their actual emissions with companies like ours and, still, it's like we are speaking a dead language. One of the greatest mistery to me of the so called #ClimateTech investment strategies.

It is crucial that carbon emitters know the full range of opportunities out there to utilise not just dispose their waste product. Converting CO2 into edible protein must be on that list…
