For ClimateTech is a comprehensive initiative designed to advance climate technology innovation and commercialization. It includes two flagship programs: Venture For ClimateTech (V4C) and Scale For ClimateTech (S4C). V4C supports early-stage startups, guiding them from concept to their first customer with mentorship, funding, and tailored resources. S4C focuses on growth-stage companies, providing technical assistance and manufacturing support to scale their hardware solutions for the market. The initiative, supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and administered by NextCorps and SecondMuse, aligns with New York State’s climate goals, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 40% of 1990 levels by 2030.
Since its inception, For ClimateTech has helped numerous innovators overcome commercialization challenges, create jobs, and contribute to a cleaner future. By fostering collaboration among innovators, manufacturers, and stakeholders, it aims to accelerate impactful solutions for global climate challenges.
