Overview
The northeast corner of North America has the potential to become a global leader in decarbonization. How can the region harness this potential, and what barriers need to be overcome?
Join BloombergNEF, in partnership with the Québec Government Office in New York, for a discussion on the state of decarbonization in the Northeast, the outlook for North America and emerging climate technology trends.
You’ll hear from utility companies, climate-tech innovators, investors and accelerators who will highlight how strong cross-border partnerships contribute to our economies’ green energy transition.
We will spend the afternoon with BNEF and industry experts through presentations, panels and networking.
