Join LACI Climate Programs at BATWorks and SecondMuse for a keystone convening focused on one critical inflection point: scaling operations after a successful pilot. Connect with thought leaders in manufacturing, supply chain, and workforce development alongside growth-stage startups that have already made the post-pilot leap.
This event is designed for startups, manufacturers and supply chain, climate and community organizations, workforce organizations, investors, regulators, and more.

LACI will be hosting 4 convenings in partnership with other ecosystem players this year all under the theme of accelerating commercialization of clean energy innovation in New York by focusing on common problems faced by startups after the pilot stage. These convenings aim to strengthen the industrialization and commercialization backbone for NYC’s cleantech sector by building relationships between finance, corporates, government, and supply chain resources to help all pilot-stage cleantech startups in the regional ecosystem. Future convenings include full-capital stack financing, securing follow-on corporate contracts, and securing customer uptake with governments.
At the event, you will meet:
- Clean energy startup founders navigating the post-pilot stage
- Manufacturing ecosystem builders and policy experts
- Direct service providers helping NYC small manufacturers scale
- Workforce development and industrial business support organizations
- Incubators and entrepreneur support organizations focused on climate tech scale-up
- Growth-stage companies that have already made the leap from pilot to production
