Built Here: The Climate Companies in Our Backyard (Raleigh-Durham Climate Week)

Climate isn't one problem. It's dozens, and a growing number of Triangle founders are working on them at once across energy, materials, ocean ecosystems, and more. Five local leaders each take on a different challenge. Expect candor on what they're solving and why it's hard, their biggest wins and setbacks this past year, why they built in the Triangle, and what they need right now: talent, partners, customers, or capital. Then the floor opens for your questions. Leave knowing who's building what in the region and how to plug in, whether you're a founder, climate-curious, or looking for your next role or customer.
