We are thrilled to unveil Part 9 of our ongoing series: “20 Women Leading the Charge in Climate Tech.”
In this latest edition, we shine a light on the tireless efforts of women globally who are at the forefront of the fight against climate change. But our celebration goes beyond just applauding women founders and investors. We’re acknowledging the significant strides women make in championing sustainability.
To play our part in promoting the climate tech ecosystem, we focus on women holding the reins, be it as founders, investors, in academia or as community builders. Through this series, we showcase the women not only developing transformative solutions for climate change but also those who power its adoption and financing. These trailblazers fuel our passion for pushing the boundaries of climate innovation, setting in motion a ripple effect that empowers more women in the climate tech arena!
For more useful resources on female founders and investors in climate tech, we recommend taking a look at our first editions of Women Driving the Future of Climate Tech: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7 and Part 8. As this is our 9th installment, we now have 180 women driving the future of climate change, so we invite you to check out our full running list of all 180 women.
If you know of any female-led teams doing or funding climate-positive work, we hope you share it with us in this form
