In the heart of San Francisco’s Financial District, the 9Zero Climate Innovation Hub has rapidly become one of the most important meeting points for climate innovators, investors, entrepreneurs, and researchers shaping the future of the energy transition.
Located at 350 California Street, 9Zero is designed as a dedicated climate innovation community where founders, engineers, investors, and policymakers connect through events, collaboration spaces, and programs that accelerate climate solutions.
During Nordic Impact Week Silicon Valley 2025, the hub will host the Nordic CleanTech Innovation Panel on October 30, bringing Nordic entrepreneurs and climate leaders into direct dialogue with Silicon Valley investors and ecosystem builders.
The session will highlight how Nordic climate technologies can scale globally. These technologies range from energy transition and AI to smart infrastructure. The scaling is possible through partnerships in California.
9Zero symbolizes more than a coworking space. It is a gateway to the U.S. climate innovation ecosystem, connecting startups with venture capital, research labs, industry experts, and global climate networks. The hub was launched to bring together the climate community and accelerate collaboration across sectors tackling the climate challenge.
Nordic innovators are increasingly looking toward the United States for market expansion. San Francisco and Silicon Valley stay the world’s launchpad for climate entrepreneurship.
“If you want to accelerate climate innovation, you must connect the world’s best ecosystems. Nordic Impact Week and 9Zero create exactly that bridge between Nordic climate leadership and Silicon Valley’s investment and scaling power.”
The collaboration marks another step in building a Nordic–California corridor for climate innovation. It unlocks partnerships that can scale energy transition solutions globally.
Looking ahead to the Nordic CleanTech Innovation panel during the Nordic Impact Week later this month.
2 of the participants you will meet are Calejo AI Hybrid Intelligence and Vaasa University. Both are accelerating the Energy transition with AI technology, science, and innovations. One area Calejo is focusing on is Smart Water, for example.
Thank you so much to the 9Zero team, with founders like Matthew Joehnk.
