2017 Navigate Connector & Partner Summit

ACT's Navigate program leverages the power of ACT's networks to provide cleantech startups access to resources and business support to grow and scale. Working with dozens of partner organizations (the Navigate Innovation Partners) including incubators, accelerators, and associations, Navigate helps partners and their portfolio startups get to the next stage of their growth through its unique services and events. We understand that the path from startup to early stage and to growth is different for every entrepreneur, so we collaborate with leaders from the cleantech industry and investor community to provide tailored support to entrepreneurs. Our team works to understand each startup's needs in order to identify, vet, and connect them to the most valuable experts, investors, corporates, and customers from across the Northeast based on their stage.
