Session: From Lab to Industry: Building Climate Tech Solutions That Scale
Climate solutions won’t change the world unless they scale.In this talk, I’ll share the journey of building a science-based climate tech startup—from early lab research to industrial pilots and global partnerships—focused on replacing petrochemical dyes in the textile industry with bio-based alternatives.
I’ll unpack the real challenges of translating deep tech into manufacturable products: aligning R&D with industry constraints, working with legacy supply chains, securing pilots, and building credibility as a woman founder in a highly technical and industrial space.
The session combines biotech, product strategy, and sustainability, offering practical insights for founders, engineers, and leaders who want to build technologies that move beyond prototypes and into real-world impact.
Key Takeaways
- Real-world insights from scaling a science-based startup in industry.
- Bridging the gap between R&D, manufacturing, and market adoption.
- Turning emerging technologies into scalable climate tech products.
