The U.S. Department of State is breaking ground within the nation's tech heartland by establishing a new hub for climate-conscious entrepreneurs in San Francisco. Slated to open its doors on January 25, this initiative is a joint effort by the Office of Global Partnerships, Good Machine, and Arm. The San Francisco Coalition for Climate Entrepreneurship (CCE) Hub aims to bring global innovators under the wing of Silicon Valley's cutting-edge tech ecosystem.
The CCE Hub, which marks the first of its kind in the United States, is set to become a cornerstone for climate innovators looking to take their green solutions from concept to scale. Participants will get the chance to prototype and refine their offerings with the goal of spearheading economic empowerment, particularly in developing regions. Per the State Department, these entrepreneurs will gain critical access to capital, technical assistance, mentorship programs, and networking channels vital for both early and growth-stage startups.
The January 25 event, welcoming the press who RSVP, will be hosted at Good Machine’s venture studio located at 1500 Michigan St, San Francisco, CA. Attendees are encouraged to arrive by 10:45 a.m. for setup. The State Department’s announcement details the collaborative effort that expands upon existing CCE Hubs internationally based in cities from Accra to Nairobi to Bogota.
Interested media personnel and journalists looking to cover the launch event have been asked to RSVP by reaching out to [email protected]. Plus, for those seeking a more personal touch, interviews with Dorothy McAuliffe, Special Representative for Global Partnerships, can be arranged through her Senior Advisor, Jake Rubenstein, by dialing (412) 860 2020.
