SAN FRANCISCO CLIMATE WEEK, 2024

We started off with a fabulous fireside chat with Heather Reams. From DC straight to San Francisco, Heather shared her firsthand experience advocating for clean tech on “the Hill” and engaging Republican policymakers and the public about responsible, conservative solutions to address our nation’s energy, economic, and environmental security.

We moved into a conversation with experts Sarabeth Brockley and Katie Hoffman, around funding clean tech solutions, startups, and how policy impacts decision making across the climate tech ecosystem.
Our next panel focused on women who are leading the charge on clean tech innovations: Serena Poon, Jane Melia Ph.D, and Neeka Mashouf
As we develop clean tech innovations and solutions, how do we make sure we don’t leave those who are vulnerable behind? Next, Michlle Li was joined by Alyah Kanso, Sustainability Manager for the Golden State Warriors, for a conversation about clean tech and climate justice.
Lastly, we sat down with Dr. Vanessa Z. Chan - the Chief Commercialization Officer for the Department of Energy - for a conversation about how federal funding is key to unlocking solutions needed for the energy transition. We learned what role does the Department of Energy plays currently, and what has been accomplished so far.

With over 40 years of banking the Innovation Economy, Silicon Valley Bank continues to be the bank of choice for founders and funders.
