A Week in Paris at Google’s Offices

As part of the accelerator, we spent a productive week at Google’s offices in Paris, participating in workshops and sessions to further develop our demand-side flexibility product. Google's commitment to 24/7 clean energy, including its efforts to power its data centers with carbon-free energy, sets a high standard for the industry. You can read more about their approach here.

Highlights of the week included the opening by Sébastien Missoffe, Managing Director of Google France, as well as presentations by Rachel Payne, Head of Responsible Innovation, and Adam Elman, Senior Director of Sustainability, offering valuable insights into sustainability and innovation.

What’s Next?

Over the coming weeks, we’ll continue to benefit from virtual mentoring and guidance from Google experts as we work to refine our platform. The accelerator will conclude in November at Slush, where we’ll showcase our progress and connect with other innovators in the climate tech space.
