Dear Friends of Greentown Labs,

It’s been a big month for startup-corporate collaborations here at Greentown!

We were excited to announce Greentown Go Move 2022 with BASF and Magna, which will accelerate partnerships between entrepreneurs and corporate executives to decarbonize the lifecycle impact of the automotive industry. Applications are open through Sept. 30. And speaking of open applications: the Aug. 9 deadline for Go Make 2022, a program focused on decarbonizing supply chains with Mitsubishi Corporation (Americas) and enabled by the M-Lab Companies, is fast approaching!

The Carbon to Value (C2V) Initiative—a unique partnership among the Urban Future Lab at New York University-Tandon, Greentown, and Fraunhofer USA, supported by NYSERDA—announced its second cohort. These eight incredible carbontech startups will spend the next six months working closely with Year 2 Cohort Champion Fluor Corporation.

Our startups are forming partnerships to accelerate their growth outside of these programs, as well. Cleartrace announced a $20M financing round for its carbon accounting platform from several strategic investors, including Greentown partner EDF Energy North America. Meanwhile, Moment Energy established a supply agreement with Mercedes-Benz Energy for second-life electric vehicle batteries; Kanin Energy is partnering with Tallgrass to develop four waste-heat-to-power clean energy projects; and Revterra raised a $6M Series A for its grid-stabilizing kinetic battery from the venturing arms of our partners Equinor and SCF Partners.

Interested in seeing how you can partner with and support our members? We have an exciting lineup of upcoming events that’s chock-full of opportunities to network with our entrepreneurs—read more below.

As always, please don't hesitate to reach out if you want to get involved with or support our community. Thank you for your commitment to climate action!

Warmly,
The Greentown Labs Team
