CLIMATE TECH & PIZZA: You can’t spell climate without ai

AI is proving crucial in the fight against climate change in various innovative ways. It tracks melting icebergs, maps deforestation, and helps communities in Africa predict weather patterns for better climate adaptation. AI also optimizes waste management, cleans ocean pollution, and predicts climate disasters. It aids industries in decarbonizing and supports reforestation efforts with drone technology. These applications highlight AI’s transformative potential in mitigating climate risks and fostering sustainability.

At this event, both investors and founders will have a platform to share their perspectives on climate tech AI. Founders will discuss the challenges they face, like securing funding, navigating regulations, and scaling innovations. Investors will highlight how they assess risks, prioritize impact, and seek opportunities. This dialogue aims to bridge gaps, align goals, and drive effective collaboration for advancing climate solutions.

Oh, and there is PIZZA.
