Introducing NTC Now
This week the Nature Tech Collective launched NTC Now, a weekly event for members to drop in to present time, exchange updates, and connect. The new format promises a special guest, a quick pulse on the collective including special announcements, followed by community led updates and activities.
Special Guest, Lara Birkes
The first guest on the NTC Now program was Lara Birkes, a veteran from the corporate sustainability and ESG space with a policy background who is now delving in to nature and biodiversity. Lara joined NTC Now to share her experience from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland including conversations on climate action and solutions to the biodiversity crisis. Lara also shared with participants details about a podcast program she is launching focused on the Nature Tech Sector. Members of the Nature Tech Collective will be invited to share their personal stories of passion, commitment, and creativity on this new program to help raise visibility and awareness of the rising entrepreneurs leading this new sector.
NTC Member Portal Sneak Peek
During the call, participants received a sneak peak of the Nature Tech Collective member portal which is being developed to help organizations better understand the actors within the emerging sector. The portal is also a spot where members of the collective can polish their own profiles and keep prospective buyers, investors, and partners up to date with their latest product and service offerings which can help with sector wide cohesion, integrity, and collaboration.
The portal features an extensive database of entities which is constantly being updated, support for new and existing taxonomies, permissioned access, tailored research workflows, and the ability to tailor the entire experience by ecosystem (e.g. mangroves, tropical agroforestry, peatlands, cattle, etc). The portal also includes quick access to domain specific resources such as a shared event calendars, a library of community contributed materials, and visual artifacts from the Nature Tech Collective’s Intelligence team.
