As an attendee of the inaugural SCALE event at ChemTECH 2024, we have come back thoroughly impressed by the remarkable platform the gathering provided. By bringing together clean-energy start-ups and industry stakeholders keen on accelerating their market adoption, SCALE served as a vital bridge to build and scale technologies that accelerate energy transition and decarbonization. It was a perfect space for ideas to collide, partnerships to form and breakthroughs to emerge. Kudos to the organizers for creating such a transformative experience!
