collaborate
9Zero, a climate innovation hub that combines coworking and a
digital membership network, today announced the opening of its
first coworking space located in downtown San Francisco (350
California Street) and the public beta launch of its membership
app, 9Z.
“The kind of massive innovation needed to solve our climate
challenges requires us to act as a collective force, and 9Zero will
facilitate this collaboration both in-person and online to
accelerate the impact we can make together for the good of
generations to come,” said Duncan Logan, Cofounder and CEO, 9Zero.
“9Zero is coworking with a purpose beyond just a desk. We are
building a community that will help launch, fund, and scale ideas
and initiatives that will have tremendous impacts on climate.”
To advance innovation in the climate space, 9Zero aims to bring
passionate people working on climate solutions together, in-person
and through a growing global network of club members. Climate
innovation is not specific to one industry or sector, which is why
membership is open to academics, corporations, venture firms, and
individuals – subject to each member’s focus on climate
solutions.
The 9Zero San Francisco coworking space opening and launch
coincide with SF Climate Week, a solutions-oriented sustainability
gathering organized by and for the community. 9Zero is the official
hub for SF Climate Week, playing host to over twenty events
including the welcome ceremony featuring San Francisco Mayor London
Breed and two-time World Series Champion and former SF Giants
baseball player Hunter Pence.
"We are excited to welcome the 9Zero Climate Innovation Hub to
San Francisco, which supports our ongoing efforts in environmental
progress, innovation, and downtown economic recovery,” said San
Francisco Mayor London N. Breed. “On top of all that, this new
space will foster community collaboration and spur new ideas that
could change the world, all from the heart of the City.”
In partnership with SKS Partners & The Swig Company, owners
of 350 California Street, 9Zero shares a vision to transform the
building into a homebase for organizations and individuals working
towards climate innovations, attracting talent and expanding the
focus on climate up and down California Street in San
Francisco.
“San Francisco, and innovators like 9Zero, lead the way forward
in addressing climate change. We feel privileged to be part of a
growing movement dedicated to minimizing the environmental impact
of the built environment and its contribution to climate change,”
said Kairee Tann, Senior Vice President, Director of Innovation and
Community Impact, The Swig Company.
9Zero plans to use its coworking locations, starting with San
Francisco and eventually expanding across the US, as gathering
spaces for networking, speaking events, and broad connection
opportunities for its members.
"By fostering close-knit ecosystems where entrepreneurs,
researchers, investors, and other key stakeholders can work
side-by-side, we can drive the kind of rapid progress that the
climate crisis demands," said Colin le Duc, partner, Generation
Investment Management.
