Meet the 2023 Tech Deployment Track Advisors
The Tech Deployment Track advisory panel is key to accelerating climate tech deployment in Alaska.
Advisory panel volunteers come from major Alaska businesses, research institutions, government agencies, and community organizations. They’re experts in Alaska energy, transportation, and industry, and they volunteer their time to help Tech Deployment Track cohort companies find partner and project opportunities in Alaska.
During Session 1, 2023 Tech Deployment Track advisors listen to pitches from our 19 cohort companies, then offer tailored feedback that helps companies identify potential customers and projects across Alaska. After Session 1, some advisors choose to continue volunteering with the program, mentoring companies as they build project maps and work toward deployment in Alaska. It’s a productive, positive cycle with big benefits for the companies and individuals who participate.
Meet the 2023 Tech Deployment Track advisors who share their knowledge and networks to accelerate Alaska’s energy transition.
