The Climate Tech Pitch Contest brings together founders, investors, industry leaders, & members of the innovation ecosystem to spotlight technologies addressing some of today's most pressing climate challenges.
Finalists:
PollenPal is using AI-powered sensors & computer vision to help beekeepers monitor hive health in real time, improve colony management, & address the growing challenge of honeybee colony loss.
HiFIT is advancing offshore wind through innovative weld treatment technology that strengthens turbine structures, enabling longer service life, reduced steel consumption & maintenance costs, & lower embodied carbon.
Novara Tech is developing mobile recycling technology that transforms hard-to-recycle composite waste from industries like wind energy & construction into reusable materials for urban infrastructure, reducing landfill waste & transportation costs.
Kyber Energy is developing AI-powered energy management software that helps commercial & industrial businesses optimize electricity use, shift demand away from peak periods, & reduce both energy costs & grid emissions.
AtmosOne AI is helping address growing demand on the electric grid by intelligently shifting flexible AI computing to off-peak periods, reducing grid strain & enabling more efficient use of existing energy infrastructure.
Judges will be announced soon.
