What is Waveseeding?
Climate change is rapidly intensifying and we don’t have the level of innovation required to meet the challenge. Simultaneously, climate innovation ecosystems are still nascent and fragmented. Waveseeding rapidly brings together actors in emerging climate adaptation innovation ecosystems to co-create the foundation for a future TECA wave. This paves the way for the wave and builds the foundation for the ideas, talent and capital pipeline.
Waveseeding is a method for exploring new opportunities and challenges for potential TECA waves in new geographies and new thematic areas. The format is typically a high-speed, rapid design sprint.
Waveseeding events bring together key players in the local climate innovation ecosystem to determine:
A) What are the most promising and needed areas for climate adaptation innovation?
B) Who are the most influential support organizations and investors in the ecosystem?
C) Where is potential climate adaptation talent?
