Seed-funded by the Maine Governor’s Energy Office.
The ClimateTech Incubator at Northeastern University’s Roux Institute in Portland, Maine, is a regional hub for startups working on technology solutions to climate change. Members have access to desk and prototyping space as well as to a curated network of mentors, investors, professional services, and the Roux Institute’s academic and research expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data visualization, data analysis, and materials science.
In addition to the resources it provides to its startup members, the ClimateTech Incubator also seeks to foster the broader climatetech community in Maine through initiatives such as our speaker series in partnership with E2Tech and networking events in collaboration with Startup Maine.
Seed-funded by the Maine Governor’s Energy Office, the Incubator is supported by grants, philanthropic gifts, and corporate sponsorships. Applications to the ClimateTech Incubator are reviewed on a rolling basis, and accepted members enter into a month-to-month membership agreement. For more information, email [email protected].
