#98 Connecting Climatech Startups and Investors, Startup Spotlight
Good morning to our community!
No matter where you are, we hope you are well and safe. It is disheartening to see what continues to be an unbelievable tragedy in Ukraine. Ukraine is the backbone for many technology and innovative companies especially in Europe and increasingly in the US. We hope the day will come soon
when Ukraine will be able to go back to be world’s co-innovators. Speaking of innovation, we know that the world progresses when innovation and ideas are encouraged and heard. Our shared world, more than ever, needs more innovation and scale ups of innovation so we can progress and move to a better future.
