We are excited to present this session in collaboration with Climate Leaders @ Penn.

Climate tech entrepreneurship is booming with increasingly large investments being funneled into the industry by both climate-focused investors and now mainstream venture capitalists who are flocking back to the industry following the 2008 downturn.

Join us for an exclusive discussion with three local climate tech startup leaders:

• Erica Nemser, CEO of Compact Membrane Systems who develop membranes for various applications, including carbon capture and renewable natural gas.
• Santiago Rojas-Carbonell, COO and co-founder at Versogen, a green hydrogen startup.
• Bryan Tracy, CEO and co-founder at Superbrewed Food, a food-tech startup.

The discussion will be moderated by Steve Greenspan, social scientist and former vice president of a Fortune 500 information technology software company. In addition to his environmental justice work, Steve advises two startups in the IT industry and is working with an economist modeling food and nutrition security.
