An Engine for Growth
BUILDING A WORLD-CLASS INNOVATION ECONOMY IN THE NORTH
Consisting of our state’s leading institutions and businesses, the Alaska Climate Tech Hub aims to make our region a global leader in developing, deploying, and commercializing technologies to solve climate change.
The hub focuses on nurturing a dynamic startup ecosystem, attracting investments, and removing barriers to tech-based economic development in Alaska. We believe our brightest path forward is lined with innovation, new energy resources, and good jobs for all Alaskans.
This collaborative effort will bring research insights out of the lab and into the marketplace, bolstering resilience locally and globally. The Climate Tech Hub offers the opportunity for changemakers to engage in impactful projects that will pivot Alaska from climate disaster to green economic growth.
