Trialing Climate Techies Corporate Program?
If so, we’re looking to trial a corporate membership program for larger teams and organizations interested in using their corporate employee/career development, biz dev and events budget on something with a MUCH higher impact and ROI than traditional overpriced seminars or corporate innovation gurus, overcrowded conferences or outdated or boring online courses, hit reply to this email and we’ll share more about Climate Techies Corporate, the special deal we have for teams and additional perks we’ve offer and unlock for your organization - all for 10-100x cheaper than some silly Big 4 Consultant or shipping your team to the latest XYZ conference.

Sector-Specific Marketing Opportunity
As you probably know, we are bringing together leaders in every major sector of industry to connect the top folks in Energy, Water, Transportation etc… (more details here) with others in the space and create a global dialog and facilitate partnerships and synergies amongst various industry leaders.
We recently had a company reach out about sponsoring one particular sector and realized it could be a great opportunity for other corporates, investors or initiatives to get their name and message out there in the different verticals we’re helping connect.
So, if you’re Porsche or Honda and interested in sponsoring our Transportation and EVs events, Hitachi or Aramco wanting exposure in the Energy space or Unilever or Pepsi want to put your mark and message on our CPG and Circular calls etc…, please reach out and happy to share more details about sponsorship options
