Accelerate Cleantech: A Global Matchmaking Event

CED is excited to introduce a new collaboration happening alongside Venture Connect: Accelerate Cleantech, hosted by UNC-Chapel Hill’s Ackerman Center for Excellence in Sustainability and Institute for the Environment, serves as a global matchmaking event and business gateway to the U.S. and North Carolina. It is a curated, free and invitation-only event collocated with Venture Connect on the morning of March 26, 2025. This event is designed to 1) connect investors, accelerators and more with clean-tech start-ups and 2) create partnerships for companies looking to build a presence in the United States to facilitate their growth.
