6 startups named CES 2020 Climate Change Innovators

Awards highlight the leadership and innovation of consumer tech startups in combating climate change

As the next generation of entrepreneurs and startups, Eureka Park is the buzzworthy startup arena at CES (January 7–10, 2020 Las Vegas) that provides an opportunity to launch a new product, service or idea. Eureka Park exhibitors are uniquely positioned to combat climate change by using cutting-edge Fourth Wave innovations to reduce the environmental impact of traditional business practices.

The winners of the third-annual CES Eureka Park Climate Change Innovators contest were announced this month, recognizing emerging innovations that help improve the environment and the lives of consumers. The contest was launched at CES 2018 to highlight technology’s ability to combat climate by cutting worldwide greenhouse gas emissions.

“Innovation is one of the most valuable assets we have in our efforts to combat climate change,” said Walter Alcorn, vice president of environmental affairs and industry sustainability, Consumer Technology Association (which produces CES). “These innovators show how our industry is creating new opportunities and improving existing efforts across the world to reduce our impact on the environment. From sustainable ridesharing options to more efficient cooling systems for city dwellers, this year’s winners reflect our industry’s commitment to protecting the planet for generations to come.”Consumer Technology Association recently released its 2019 Industry Report on GHG Emissions tracking consumer tech companies’ progress and efforts to reduce GHG emissions. The report details how the industry is growing its commitment to emission reductions while still delivering the life-changing innovations consumers demand.

We are entering a new era of environmental innovation that is driving better alignment between technology and environmental goals — and results. #FourthWave
