Scaling Climatetech Across Borders

Canada is the home of the Maple Leafs and the world’s best syrup (hot take?) – and some of the world’s best climate innovations, too. In fact, the country boasts close to 2,470 cleantech firms across mining, agriculture, energy & grid-enabling technologies, and more. Canadian startups looking to break into the U.S. ecosystem face similar scaling challenges to U.S. startups on the ground or innovating abroad — while our communities have a need for these innovations to power transformation at the local level now. During this Climate Salon, we’re teaming up with the Consulate General of Canada to bring together the best of the Canadian and U.S. climate ecosystems. We’ll discuss the challenges to scaling climate across industries, borders, and mindsets. Consulate General of Canada in Boston provides services to Canadians visiting and living in the United States. The Consulate runs a climatetech accelerator to support cross-border startup engagement. Climate Salon is a 501c3 nonprofit organization focused on bringing stakeholders together to solve climate challenges. Through educational events, its network of support organizations, and charitable giving, Climate Salon accelerates community action to bring ideas to life.
