Campus Deep Tech, Anywhere Ventures, The Hazelwood Network, & Tailwind Futures are bringing together a curated group of startups, investors, industry leaders, & academics during Climate Week NYC to explore the mounting challenges posed by extreme heat globally & novel technologies being developed to help people & industries adapt.
Industry leaders & investors will present 'reverse pitches' where they will identify specific challenges & opportunity areas where they would like to see innovators focus next.
Startups & leading academics will share the cutting-edge technologies they are developing & their commercial potential.
Why Attend:
Discover breakthrough technologies
Engage directly with scientists working at the frontier of extreme heat resilience & cooling technologies
Identify investment & partnership opportunities
Become part of the region's growing deep tech ecosystem
Run of Show:
Reverse pitch presentations from industry leaders & investors
Startup & researcher presentations from across Columbia, Princeton, Yale, & other leading universities
Networking reception (drinks & light bites included)
Extreme Heat X Technology Challenges:
People & communities: Heat stress & disease, productivity, access to AC, essential services, wildfires
Agriculture: Disrupted photosynthesis & pollination slashing crop yields
Energy systems: Power-plant cooling constraints, declining solar output, transmission derating, transformer failures, & peak-demand blackouts
Cooling & electronics: Overloaded / overheated HVAC, data-center cooling systems, telecom, electronics
Transportation & supply chains: Buckling roads & rails, stressed bridges, aviation disruptions, vehicle breakdowns, cold-chain failures
Water & wastewater: Pipe leakage, water-supply interruptions, failures of pumps & treatment systems
Industrial operations: Machinery overheating, shortened equipment life, material expansion, product defects
