Over the coming months, and with the help of program partners Braid Theory and US Green Building Council Los Angeles, VoltSafe will join this year’s diverse cohort in breaking new ground in the Ports and Logistics ecosystem helping California meet its sustainability goals and move towards a cleaner future. VoltSafe is one of only ten startups selected out of the many Canadian cleantech companies and will benefit from on-the-ground intelligence, advice, mentoring, and make strategic connections to help develop the company’s market traction and growth in Southern California.
Up next, VoltSafe will undergo individual on-boarding meetings, developing the scope of the entire program, which will extend until March 2024. The program will include a combination of online collaboration as well as in-person activities in Southern California.
