We had an incredible time connecting at the National Coalition of Clean Energy Incubators (NCCEI) event! The discussions focused on how historic federal policies are driving U.S. energy innovation and addressed the unique challenges faced by early-stage clean energy entrepreneurs.

With remarks from Representative Sean Casten, Representative Mike Levin, and Senator Edward Markey, to insightful panels moderated by Evergreen CEO Michelle Carr and Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) CEO Matt Petersen, the event emphasized the importance of ongoing support for startups in the clean energy space and celebrated the hard work of our entrepreneurs and representatives.

At Evergreen, we remain dedicated to working with LACI all the partners with NCCEI to accelerate energy innovation and ensure our startups have the tools they need to succeed. 

Lastly, a big thank you to all our speakers and attendees for their expertise and passion. We're inspired and ready to continue building a sustainable future together!
