We are thrilled to announce the ten world class companies that will make up the premier cohort of the International Landing Pad program, focused on decarbonizing New York City’s built environment — the buildings and infrastructure where New Yorkers live, work, and move. In collaboration with New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC).

The selected cohort features best-in-class international companies — hailing from Malaysia, India, Ireland, Canada, the UK, Finland, Sweden, and Norway — with solutions that can help modernize New York City’s built environment. They range from cutting-edge heating and cooling technologies to high-impact building intelligence and energy infrastructure platforms, to novel energy storage solutions.

If you’re a real estate owner/operator, public institution, infrastructure manager, etc. and are interested in being introduced to any of the solutions or learning more about involvement in our built environment programs, email hello@thecleanfight.com for more information.
