Join us for the September edition of the NY Tech Meetup, where we're partnering with Campus Deep Tech.
This NY Tech Meetup includes a few special elements including an expert panel on resilience & the future of climate tech & one of the largest startup pitch competitions during Climate Week NYC.
See the investors that will be in the room listed below!
Each competing startup demoer is developing moonshot innovations originating in university research labs that will help address pressing resilience challenges across:
Climate & Natural Disasters
Energy, Water, Telecom, & AI Infrastructure
Industrial Processes & Supply Chains
Agriculture & Biodiversity
Resilience technologies are solutions that mitigate risk by anticipating, absorbing, adapting to, & recovering from significant disruptions & growing friction due to climate & other external factors.
Climate change has a cascading impact destabilizing natural & human systems. As risk & volatility continue to rise, new solutions will be needed to adapt.
Campus Deep Tech helps deep tech startups working on impactful technologies connect with industry & investors through its cross-university network.
This is an unmatched opportunity to present on stage during the biggest climate event of the year. Startups interested in presenting should submit an interest form here:
