SUMMARY:OOO MeetUp: Triangle Climate Connections
DESCRIPTION:What are OOO Meetups? \nAt Frontier RTP, we are constantly growing and making connections. We developed OOO Meetups as a way to help connect like-minded professionals, entrepreneurs and industry insiders during our regular, weekly Out of Office “OOO” events.\n\nWith each meetup, we work with a co-host to facilitate the networking or educational sessions while we pour the drinks. \nOur hope is that the meetups will spark dialogue, start relationships and make your happy hour meaningful. Did we mention there will be free craft beer, wine selected by RTP Uncorked, and non-alcoholic options? \nAbout the Meetup\nThe Triangle has no shortage of people working on climate solutions. The harder part is making sure they know one another.\nJoin Carolina Climate ( https://www.carolinaclimate.org/ ) and Duke Design Climate ( https://designclimate.duke.edu/ ) at Frontier RTP’s Out of Office Meetup for an informal evening connecting the people building, funding, researching, supporting, and exploring climate and clean technology across the region.\nThis gathering is designed to help founders meet potential collaborators, researchers connect with industry, funders discover emerging ideas, and climate-curious professionals find a way into the ecosystem.
