Accelerating Partnerships to Scale Climatetech

Greentown Go injects momentum into startup-corporate collaborations, unlocking the power of climate solutions at scale. Five industry tracks, one mission: deploy faster.

Where industry giants and innovators go faster

The climate crisis urgently demands sweeping climatetech deployment. While startups bring the solutions, corporates often bring commercialization pathways and scale. That’s why Greentown Go builds partnerships that propel climatetech solutions to market—at the pace needed to tackle climate change.

With a mission of decarbonizing the key greenhouse gas-emitting sectors, Greentown Go—Greentown’s open-innovation program—injects momentum and traction into startup-corporate collaborations, unlocking the power of climate solutions at scale.

Working with Greentown Labs, with their expertise in fostering startup-corporate partnerships, provided us with the necessary guidance and resources to accelerate this initiative far more than we could have alone.

[ 04 ]What They Say

From Program Participants

The Greentown Go programs are one of the best opportunities that cleantech startups have to develop deep relationships with some of the world's largest corporations through organized programming. I wish there was a Greentown Labs in every city across the world!

Jesse HenryFormer CEO and Founder of Heartland Industries (Go Move 2022)

Through this program, we really wanted to come in and talk to as many players in the commercial EV space as possible. This program has been fantastic for us to do that. We are now taking the learnings from this program to build our product.

Ian MathewsCEO and Founder of Sensai Analytics (Go Make 2022)

I want to acknowledge all the support and help we got from Mitsubishi on this program. It's like we went from a spectator at a sporting event to a player on the field. Their inside knowledge of the industry was tremendously rewarding.
