A new tech startup incubator puts climate center stage

MAINE PUBLIC • September 20, 2024

This week Northeastern University’s Roux Institute launched its new ClimateTech Incubator at the Portland Campus. The incubator was seed-funded in part by the Maine Governor's Energy Office. Director Dan Burgess said the hope is that the investment will help spur green job growth in the state. The Governor has set a goal to see 30,000 clean energy jobs created by 2030. The accelerator brings a dozen climate and environment-focused start-ups to the Portland-based program, where they'll have access to prototyping spaces, mentorship opportunities, investors, and academic and business help.
