Catalyzing Corporate-Startup Partnerships in Carbontech
The Carbon to Value (C2V) Initiative accelerates the commercialization of carbontech solutions by connecting high-potential startups with corporate partners, government leaders, investors, and technical experts who can help move technologies from breakthrough to real-world application. C2V supports startups developing solutions that capture, convert, utilize, remove, or sequester carbon dioxide and other carbon-rich streams, with a focus on advancing market validation, pilot opportunities, demonstrations, and strategic partnerships.
Now entering its sixth year, C2V has supported 45 groundbreaking startups that have collectively raised more than $700 million in follow-on funding. The initiative has facilitated 600+ connections across its startup, corporate, nonprofit, and government network, helping advance partnerships, technology development, pilots, and the growth of the carbontech economy.
Applications for our Year 6 Cohort are now open.
