Event Description

In this quarter’s panel we’ll hear from Startups who have responded to COVID-19 in a variety of unique ways - from IoT devices to investments in the workforce. Startups are nimble and uniquely able to pivot their technologies and rapidly respond to changes in the market. Who would have guessed one of the greatest pivots of all time would be in response to a worldwide pandemic? We’ve heard stories of companies responding to COVID by switching to PPE production but what about a post-COVID world? Remote work will prevail and social distancing measures will be required. Enter cleantech. Many technologies developed by sustainably-minded companies are already perfectly positioned to address new measures required by the pandemic. How will renewables and energy efficiency be positioned in a post pandemic world?
