We’re excited to introduce Cohort 2023, the 46 science entrepreneurs turning their breakthroughs into businesses that could help industries–including manufacturing, energy, chemicals, computing, and agriculture–meet decarbonization and resiliency goals.
“When we look at the breadth and scope of these brilliant scientific minds, engaging to find solutions in energy, sustainability, chemistry, computing, and more, we can’t help but be encouraged and optimistic about the future,” says Activate interim CEO Todd Johnson.
This new cohort also represents a new milestone in Activate’s diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging goals, including 37 percent women and 43 percent founders of color.
“In welcoming our largest cohort ever, I continue to be amazed at the number and quality of talented, accomplished scientists with world-changing technologies that Activate attracts. With these emerging leaders heading the charge, I am filled with optimism for the future of the climate and our country," says Aimee Rose, Activate’s executive managing director.
