Green Technology is the future of business. With enormous federal investment into climate solutions, now is the time to take advantage of the moment and become part of a diverse, fast-growing community of climate tech leaders.

In this interactive workshop, we’ll be discussing new business opportunities in the green building sector. You’ll hear from diverse entrepreneurs and professionals working in construction, architecture, engineering, residential, and commercial about their experience, learn about pathways to enter the field such as joining the Energy Trust of Oregon Trade Ally network, and learn about emerging funding opportunities in climate tech.

This is an event for entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial-minded folks who are curious about getting into business addressing climate solutions, but don’t see others that look like them in the sector. We are a group of organizations passionate about building an inclusive climate economy in Portland.

This event will be offered as a hybrid in-person/virtual event. Attendees can select how they wish to participate during registration.
