Mass Mobility Hub

On June 26, MACP and its partners [Associated Industries of Massachusetts, Environmental League of Massachusetts (ELM), Greentown Labs, Massachusetts Business Roundtable, Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, Mass Mobility Hub, NECEC, The Engine Accelerator] had the pleasure of hosting a Competitiveness Conversation on "Massachusetts Climatetech Leading the Charge" featuring a panel of 4 climatetech CEOs sharing their experiences and insights on the industry in the commonwealth. We were honored to be joined by Joshua Aviv, CEO of SparkCharge. A few key points of his included: 👥 Massachusetts has a talented pool of experienced professionals knowledgeable about building cleantech companies, which was a major reason that SparkCharge made the decision to stay in the state and hire locally. 🚗 The Massachusetts climatetech ecosystem is growing: organizations like Greentown Labs and MassRobotics have laid a strong foundation, and we have new organizations like Mass Mobility Hub, which is focused on transportation and mobility, that will help attract more startups to the state. 📈 The Massachusetts climatetech ecosystem is not only growing, but with the right investment (including increased access to capital) can thrive. See the short video clip below to hear why Josh describes Massachusetts as the "superpower" that supported SparkCharge's success.
