Partnership Overview

Greentown Labs partners with multinational corporations that have made science-based climate commitments. These companies are leading the charge on corporate sustainability and are earnestly pursuing partnerships with next-generation technologies to enable a clean energy economy.

Partners give crucial support to Greentown’s startups by becoming strategic partners, investors, customers, and pilot sites. Through these relationships with Greentown and its startup members, corporate partners become embedded in the climatetech and cleantech ecosystem, and get introduced to the industry’s most groundbreaking technology. Partnership also gives organizations the chance to make their businesses more sustainable and to demonstrate their climate commitments.

Day-to-day, these partnerships involve countless chances for entrepreneurs and corporates to exchange ideas and form connections. These opportunities include pitch days, lunch and learns, office hours, tours, corporate innovation days, participating on Greentown’s Industry Leadership Council, taking a desk at Greentown, and more.

“The heart of this partnership has and always will be the opportunity to share knowledge, culture, and community. There’s nothing like Greentown Labs that we’ve seen anywhere else in the world.”
