This episode covers a topic that’s at the heart of innovation: Fostering the growth of advanced energy technologies and startups right here in Tennessee. It will cover both sides of a startup journey — the entrepreneurs who are making waves and the organizations empowering them to reach the next level.

First, host Cortney Piper will sit down with the CEO of The Company Lab, or CO.LAB, a Chattanooga-based organization that’s driving innovation through programs like the Sustainable Mobility Accelerator. Then, Piper will speak to two representatives from Moduly, a Canadian startup that found a new home in Tennessee thanks to CO.LAB’s accelerator program.

Listen to hear Piper and our guests unpack the challenges of launching an energy or hardtech business, explore Moduly’s innovative approach to energy resiliency and get a sneak peek at what’s next for both CO.LAB and Moduly.
