Boston, MA (July 15, 2024) – MassChallenge, the global network for innovators, is excited to announce its partnership with Autodesk, a global leader in technology for design and make industries. Together we are defining a new space of innovation necessary for mitigating and adapting to climate change: Climate Intelligence.
Together, we believe Climate Intelligence integrates climate data with AI insights throughout project lifecycles and workflows. This helps designers, builders, manufactures and operators make data-driven decisions, manage risks, and plan more effectively to mitigate emissions and adapt to a changing climate, leading to the development of more sustainable and resilient products, factories, infrastructure, cities and more.
But we want to know what YOU think climate intelligence is. Are you a startup in the architecture, engineering, construction or manufacturing industry working on next generation innovation to make our world a more sustainable place to live? We want to know what your take on Climate Intelligence is and provide your startup with a chance to join our inaugural Climate Intelligence group.
This group will help define this new innovative space and present their venture at our pitch competition directly to Autodesk sustainability experts. The winners will receive:
- Complimentary tickets and accommodations for the CEOs of the top 3 companies to attend Autodesk University the ‘Design and Make Conference’ in San Diego, October 15-17, 2024. This opportunity also includes an invitation to participate alongside industry leaders of the Sustainability Leaders Summit, hosted by Autodesk’s Chief Sustainability Officer
- Accelerated acceptance into the Autodesk Sustainability Tech Partner Program
- Potential strategic investment
Participating startups will be invited to RESOLVE’25 MassChallenge Showcase Awards in Boston in February 2025, where they could be eligible to win a zero-equity cash prize. At this year’s ceremony, MassChallenge awarded over $1.1M in non-dilutive awards.
