South Asian Climate Showcase at SF Climate Week ๐
Join BASACA (Bay Area South Asian Climate Association) for an evening dedicated to the pulse of climate innovation at the US-India corridor. As one of the most climate-vulnerable yet resilient regions in the world, South Asia is a hotbed for transformative solutions and we are bringing that energy to the heart of San Francisco.
We have brought together a powerhouse group to cover the entire value chain: from technical frontiers like Natural Hydrogen, Solar, Biochar and Extreme Heat to a capital stack spanning VCs, Grantmakers, and Accelerators. Whether you are a founder, investor, or policymaker, this is the room you need to be in for SF Climate Week.๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐น๐น ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ข๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐: ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฟ by Ashish Khanna (Director General, International Solar Alliance)
