InnoBlog: organising the first Santa Cruz California Climate Consortium

The ocean breeze, wine and delicious snacks are the secret to networking. I can’t think of a better way to build meaningful and long-lasting business relationships!

In April, Will and I (Alba), Master’s in Renewable Energy alumni and co-founders of Climatize, an app that enables you to invest in renewable energy projects from as little as your spare change, hosted the first-ever Santa Cruz, California Climate Consortium in collaboration with Santa Cruz Works.

What was it all about?

The aim of the event was to gather, connect, exchange ideas, and learn about local efforts in place to support the transition to a greener climate and economy.

 

My co-founder Will, kicked off the event with a touching speech about the detrimental effects of the climate crisis. He pictured the gathering as an opportunity to innovate, build more efficiently and show gratitude by making the most of what we have. He encouraged the counterparts to call out systematic wrongs and build an economy more representative of our constituent parts.
