#Venturing #ConTech #ClimateTech #Sustainability

Jonathan Weitz and his team at Accenture have put together a database of 224 Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) units currently focused on investing in #ClimateTech.

CVC’s are strategic partners that support founders and innovators to gain investment in innovative tech solutions. We work closely with our founders to provide opportunities to pilot and scale their tech through our network of CRH Operating Companies.

We’ve been highlighted as a strong strategic investor in Climate Tech - specifically in the industrial category. If you’d like to have a conversation about how we might work together, please get in touch: https://lnkd.in/evNWzd4e.
