Bridging Innovation

& Implementation

Now is the time to innovate and implement, to turn vision into real progress. We know we need to deploy enough projects to halve emissions within just 84 months. We know every family and every community must benefit. On January 25th, we will address a single question: HOW will we do it, together?

As a nonprofit investor funding, deploying and scaling projects at the intersection of climate impact and social justice, Elemental serves as a bridge between innovation and implementation. Elemental Interactive will bring together an invite-only audience of about 400 innovators, investors, technologists, community groups, policymakers, artists, activists and journalists — all focused on accelerating global action to address the climate crisis.

The Details

Space is limited. Elemental Interactive is an invite-only event. Invitations are non-transferable. If you’d like to suggest investors for our invite list, please reach out to events@elementalexcelerator.com.
