Hi Climate Salad’ers. We’re back with the usual round-up of climate news and events, along with a feature on Lachlan Nixon from Motion Capital where we touch on his article “Climate-Tech in 2025: Don’t use the ‘C’ Word.” We’ve also got two programs by EnergyLab: one for companies in the lithium-battery space, and another for early-stage climate founders.

Welcome to the second May edition of the Climate Salad newsletter 🌱 In addition to the round-up of climate tech news and events, we have a webinar on the 10th of June with Cheryl Mack from Aussie Angels (for members only). Plus, we’ve started a new series profiling Climate Salad founders.
