Climate Ventures (Virtual) Mornings: A Conversation with Nick Parker

The Centre for Social Innovation’s Climate Ventures Mornings are a chance to hear from the city’s top climate innovators and leaders. You’ll gain a greater understanding of the different ways in which we can tackle the climate crisis, and hear some inspiring personal stories along the way.

On Thursday, April 2, we’re sitting down (virtually, of course!) with Nicholas Parker, a cleantech pioneer. Join us for a conversation on cleantech with the person who coined the term “cleantech”! We’ll discuss its history, current trends, and investment landscape.

Please note that we’ll use Zoom to connect. Details will be sent to confirmed registrants the week before the event.
