Climate Week NYC is one of the world's leading global climate gatherings and it's just around the corner!
This summer's heat waves and wild fires are a potent reminder that climate change is an ever more tangible and uncomfortable reality. The good news is that despite Washington's retreat on to decarbonize the economy and belittling of the climate challenge, founders and investors are moving ahead with bold projects to address the existential climate challenge.
SOSV is one of the world's leading climate tech investors, and during Climate Week NYC we are proud to lend the Biome, our NYC event space, to climate event organizers focused on the latest scientific breakthroughs, deep tech engineering, and investing to help decarbonize the economy. Here's the agenda for the Biome during climate week:
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
Join Greentown's leadership team and climate and energy leaders from across the Northeast for an intimate discussion on shaping the future of climate innovation in New York and Massachusetts. The conversation will explore strengthening the pipeline from research to startup, mobilizing public and private capital to help companies scale, and keeping climate manufacturing in the Northeast. Lunch will be provided, followed by the Greentown Startup Showcase featuring climate innovation in action.
1:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Join Greentown Labs for a pitch and showcase event bringing together founders, investors, corporate leaders, policymakers, philanthropists, and beyond at New York Climate Week.

6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
SOSV Deep Tech LIVE is a video podcast series exploring the frontiers of deep tech with leading founders, researchers, and technologists.

Join investors, city leaders, philanthropies, and ecosystem partners to explore how innovative financing and public-private collaboration can accelerate urban climate resilience. Through practical examples and emerging models, the interactive session will examine how blended capital, smarter partnerships, and new financing structures can help cities, particularly New York, scale solutions that already work.
