Hacking for Carbon: Building a New Innovation Pipeline for the New Carbon Economy

The energy transition is already creating new wealth with solar and wind power. The transition to a low-carbon economy will present an even bigger investment opportunity. Technologies do not invent themselves and this transition requires innovation on a significant scale

This workshop will consider how government, philanthropy, and private capital can fund and de-risk an innovation pipeline. The panel will bring thoughtful insights focused on nurturing innovation, managing risk in a “lean startup era.” and the policies and funding needed to support the new carbon economy. Join this important conversation and consider remaining engaged as a leadership community advancing new partnerships and collaborations to create opportunities for investment in the new carbon economy.

Panel featuring Sarah Kearney, Founder, Prime Coalition; Tony Michaels, CEO, Midwestern BioAg National Council for Science and the Environment Board Director; Klaus Lackner, Director, Center for Negative Carbon Emissions, Arizona State University; and Erin Burns Associate Director, Policy at Carbon180. Moderated by Bob Litterman, Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability Board Director & Founding Partner, Kepos Capital.
