Climate Scaling Summit Opens the Government Customer Map

A climate startup can finish a pilot and still have no clear path into the system that needs to buy it. Climate Scaling Summit brings founders and public-sector operators together around the entry points that sit between a promising demonstration and a government customer.

LACI at BATWorks and The Trust for Governors Island host the November 9 program at Brooklyn Army Terminal. The agenda combines a fireside conversation, an agency panel and working sessions on policy, pilot KPIs, capital projects, permitting, procurement and workforce.

Why this room matters

Government can be customer, regulator, site partner and source of technical requirements at the same time. A founder has to understand which role is active before the company can design the right pilot, evidence package or commercial path.

The summit makes those handoffs visible. The useful outcome is not simply a better pitch to an agency. It is a clearer understanding of how public systems evaluate risk, adopt infrastructure and decide whether a pilot deserves to become part of the city around it.
