How to Avoid a Climate Tech Disaster

Presenter: Yuan-Sheng Yu, Managing Consultant, Energy and Kevin See, Ph.D., VP, Research at Lux Research

Climate tech is all the rage for financial institutes, corporates, and venture capitalists these days. Whether you’re a prestigious investment management firm, high-profile venture capital, or just a wealthy person with a lot of even wealthier friends; everyone seems to at least be talking about investing in climate tech.

But a few things remain unclear:

What exactly is so different about climate tech from cleantech?
Why is everyone so positive things will be different this time around?
How will the influx of capital into the ecosystem really impact the energy transition?

In this webinar, hear from Lux Research on their views of the emergence of the recent climate tech boom, why it’s great for the industry, and also becoming a nauseating public relations stunt at the same time. Learn insights on what Lux Research sees as the trends that are here to stay and what will lead the industry down a dead-end, sorting the good from the bad, and finding success in climate tech, whether you are an investor or a startup.
