Dear Friends of Greentown Labs,
Alternative raw materials for buildings. Carbon traceability. Offshore wind turbine monitoring. Innovative materials for automotive efficiency. These are just some of the technology areas that startups and corporates are collaboratively advancing through this year’s Greentown Go programs!
Today we announced that Greentown Go, our accelerator that fosters startup-corporate partnerships to decarbonize the key greenhouse-gas-emitting sectors, is accepting applications for Go Build 2023, which will focus on decarbonizing the built environment. Applications are also open for Go Make 2023, a program advancing solutions for carbon utilization, storage, and traceability.
Meanwhile, we’re currently selecting the cohorts for Go Energize 2023, which zeroes in on solutions for responsible offshore wind project development, and Year 3 of the Carbon to Value Initiative, which is catalyzing the carbontech economy. We hope you’ll join us at the Go Energize 2023 Kickoff Event on June 8, and stay tuned for news on the programs’ startup participants!
We also wrapped up two accelerators this spring: Go Make 2022 and Go Move 2022. You can check out results from the Go Make program here and view a recording of the Go Move 2022 Final Showcase here!
As always, we’d appreciate your help spreading calls for applications with any startups in your network—sample language is included below. Do you have your own decarbonization challenge that could be solved through startup-corporate collaboration and innovation? Reach out to our Director of Partnerships Nour Ghadanfar about scoping out your own Greentown Go program!
Thank you for supporting Greentown Go and your commitment to climate action!
Warmly,
The Greentown Go Team

| Late last month we kicked off Year 3 of the Carbon to Value (C2V) Initiative—a unique partnership among the Urban Future Lab at NYU Tandon School of Engineering (UFL), Greentown, and Fraunhofer USA, and supported by NYSERDA! This program combines the structure of a partnership accelerator program inspired by Greentown Go with exclusive access to industry leaders shaping the carbontech marketplace of tomorrow.
Check out a recording of the kickoff, and stay tuned for an announcement on the program cohort soon!
Curious about joining the C2V Initiative’s Carbontech Leadership Council? Please connect with its Program Director Frederic Clerc to discuss how your organization would benefit from staying on the front line of carbontech innovation! |
