Cleantech Council delegates meet monthly to discover startups and innovation across clean, green, and sustainable technologies and build community with colleagues from like-minded corporations committed to paving the road to a sustainable future through partnership.

Cleantech Council was spun off from the Autotech Council and the Telecom Council in 2022 based on the growing commitment of corporations to improve their carbon footprints, improve the sustainability of their businesses, and invest in the future.

Through regular, private meetings in Silicon Valley, the Cleantech Council introduces 50+ highly curated and relevant new companies innovating in clean, green, and sustainability technologies every year.  These young companies introduce their solutions in brief, rapid-fire presentations with Q&A led by member delegates and time for followup during interactive networking breaks.

Presenters at our August meeting take questions at their tables during the networking break.

This month we introduce 5 curated startups and new technologies, with time for demos, private followup, attendee networking, with the option to remain for a roundtable discussion in a compact half-day meeting. For details, open the Agenda tab above.

Cleantech Council members have a wealth of insight, opinion, and connections and our monthly roundtable topics allow us to openly exchange ideas with each other on a segment of current interest to the membership. This month we will focus on interesting startups and business models members have seen recently followed by a public discussion on Fixing Carbon Markets.

MONTHLY STARTUP REVIEW MEETINGS

  • Speakers represent young technology companies from around the world and across a variety of industries - from energy, recycling, conservation, water, carbon, food and more. Though their technologies may be diverse (hardware, software, services) and their stage may be from Seed to SPAC, they are all ready to partner.
  • Attendees are tech scouts, partnership execs, and corp dev delegates from forward-looking corporations who are committed to working with startups, investing in new technologies, and partnering with new companies to help them meet their sustainability goals.
  • Remote Access is a benefit available to Cleantech Council members. We highly recommend attending and presenting in person to get the most value from this meeting and the community.

Though Cleantech Council meetings are private and not recorded, members can access presentations, agenda, attendee and contact information for this and all past Cleantech Council meetings in the member library.
