POSTPONED - EnviroTech Alliance - First Meetup

Time for climate action to move at startup speed!

Australian startups are in a unique position to get climate solutions out there fast. We have the brains, the terrains and - let's face it - one of the hottest dates with destiny on the planet! 🌏 🔥

The EnviroTech Alliance (ETA) is an open meetup which brings together anyone who wants to support a flourishing EnviroTech sector in Australia. 

We are a growing group of hundreds of startup founders, professionals and advocates creating solutions for the environment so we can:

- build community 👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏽,

- map and measure the impact of our work on jobs and the economy 💰 and

- present a unified front to governments and investors so we can advocate for greater support 💪 🤝.

Together we will exchange ideas, hacks and survival techniques and provide a supportive network and promotional platform for all participants.  ETA 2030 - let's go!

Led by TechSydney, The Envirotech Alliance includes: SparkClub (Energytech), Fishburners (Australia's largest startup community), Girl Geek Academy (a global movement for women in STEM) and Launch Group (leading startup and impact agency) with promotional support from SparkFestival and Hatch Taronga Accelerator Program.

PROTEST . DIVEST . INVEST (more about us) 

There are many working in the environmental space as change advocates and to help industry and governments reduce emissions and transition away from fossil fuel. Our focus is on the 'INVEST' side of the movement - supporting and promoting those working on scaleable solutions to attract greater support and resources. We recognise our work must occur in parallel to these broader efforts.

UPDATE: COVID-19 event policy: This event is a small gathering and precautions have been taken around food and alcohol handling and all other event procedures to maintain a strongly hygiene-focused event setting. We also encourage guests to minimise contact around personal greetings. We also ask that guests do not attend the event if you have been identified in an at-risk category. A live streaming service is also provided.
