Investment and funding from venture capitalists, corporations, government, and others can be critical to the scale-up and deployment of new innovations at a speed and scale necessary to address climate change effectively. Join a discussion with start-up companies, venture capital investors, NGOs, and researchers to discuss the unique funding challenges faced by those commercializing energy and climate tech innovations and the knowledge, support, and other benefits offered by various types of investors.
