San Francisco's downtown has just become home to a new player in the fight against climate change. 9Zero, a hub that marries coworking with a digital membership network, has launched its inaugural station at 350 California Street - an address now set to become synonymous with climate innovation, as reported by ConnectCRE.
Unveiled in tandem with SF Climate Week, a local initiative dedicated to propelling sustainable solutions, 9Zero has been christened the official abode for the week's twenty plus events, including a kick-off fête attended by Mayor London Breed and celebrated baseball veteran Hunter Pence. At the same time, the shared vision with property owners SKS Partners & The Swig Company is a transformed building that becomes a magnet for talent, per details from a Business Wire release.
Duncan Logan, the brains behind 9Zero, insists that overcoming our climatic hurdles requires a united front: "The kind of massive innovation needed to solve our climate challenges requires us to act as a collective force, and 9Zero will facilitate this collaboration both in-person and online to accelerate the impact we can make together for the good of generations to come," Logan articulated to Business Wire.
Embracing a gamut of climate-conscious individuals from startups to policymakers, 9Zero aims to be the crucible where thinkers and doers alike ignite the transformative ideas needed to tackle planetary issues – recognizing that the climate crisis doesn't confine itself to one industry, it's an all-hands-on-deck scenario, taking cues from their official website 9Zero.com.
Mayor Breed echoes the sentiment of widespread support for the hub: "We are excited to welcome the 9Zero Climate Innovation Hub to San Francisco, which supports our ongoing efforts in environmental progress, innovation, and downtown economic recovery,” as outlined on the hub's website.
The gates are now open for anyone who wants to engage with 9Zero via their real-world space on California Street or through their digital membership app, 9Z, which will serve as a platform to tie the global community fighting climate change together, as mentioned in their 9Zero website.
