ROUNDTABLE LUNCH ON THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

Wednesday Nov 13, 2024
10:30 am - 1:00 pm PT

Hosted by DNX Ventures, San Mateo

Everything humans build becomes part of a durable set of assets, all of which use energy and resources for their construction, then also for their ongoing usage and maintenance. In aggregate, this Built Environment offers many different ways of improving how we use resources, increasing the sustainability of human assets, and increasing comfort and well-being. This lunchtime session includes an interactive discussion around the topic and will introduce a few startups innovating in this segment.

Through meetings in Silicon Valley with online access for remote attendees, the Cleantech Council introduces 100+ new companies innovating in clean, green, and sustainability technologies every year. Monthly opportunities to pitch, demo, meet, discover, network and research, plus the occasional marketing opportunity mixed in, allows everyone from multinational corporations to CVCs and startups to get involved.
