It brings business and policy leaders and Harvard Business School faculty together to share insights about what businesses are doing, can do, and should do to confront climate change. It explores the many challenges and opportunities that climate change raises for managers, such as decisions about where they choose to locate, the technologies they develop and use, their strategies with respect to products, marketing, customer engagement, and policy—in other words, the full spectrum of business concerns.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-rising-962161"},"episode":{"title":"De-Risking Climate Tech: Inside the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center with Galen Nelson","slug":"de-risking-climate-tech-inside-the-massachusetts-clean-energy-center-with-galen-nelson","published_at":"2025-11-12T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-rising-962161/de-risking-climate-tech-inside-the-massachusetts-clean-energy-center-with-galen-nelson","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-rising-962161","url":"https://pdst.fm/e/tracking.swap.fm/track/tcQd6Q6C0RUUlOHq1Ytj/mgln.ai/e/51/traffic.megaphone.fm/TPG2364264584.mp3?updated=1762913100","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/tracking.swap.fm/track/tcQd6Q6C0RUUlOHq1Ytj/mgln.ai/e/51/traffic.megaphone.fm/TPG2364264584.mp3?updated=1762913100","summary":"Galen Nelson, Chief Climate Officer at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) explains how the state is helping accelerate climate innovation through early-stage grants, equity investments, and infrastructure support. Galen outlines how MassCEC targets “market failures” where private investors hesitate—such as pilot and demonstration projects—and how these public investments help attract follow-on capital, inform policy, and build economic resilience. Galen shares examples across climate tech verticals including energy efficiency, carbon-intensive materials like cement, and urban heat resilience. He also discusses how MassCEC is responding to the shifting federal policy landscape, its new authority to fund climate adaptation technologies, and how the agency’s public-private model balances innovation with accountability.","meta_description":"Galen Nelson, Chief Climate Officer at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) explains how the state is helping accelerate climate innovation thr…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3206,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/climate-rising-962161/episodes/de-risking-climate-tech-inside-the-massachusetts-clean-energy-center-with-galen-nelson/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-rising-962161/de-risking-climate-tech-inside-the-massachusetts-clean-energy-center-with-galen-nelson.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
