I am excited to announce that our client LanzaTech, a carbon capture and transformation company, was named a finalist for the Earthshot Prize this morning by HRH Prince William and The Royal Foundation. As the only company in the United States, they are part of an amazing cohort of companies working on solving our world's greatest challenges around climate change.
The Prize takes inspiration from President John F. Kennedy’s ‘Moonshot,’ which united millions of people around an organizing goal to put a man on the moon and catalyzed the development of new technology in the 1960s.
As Prince William said in announcing the finalists,
“The innovators, leaders, and visionaries that make up our 2022 Earthshot Finalists prove there are many reasons to be optimistic about the future of our planet. They are directing their time, energy, and talent towards bold solutions with the power to not only solve our planet’s greatest environmental challenges, but to create healthier, more prosperous, and more sustainable communities for generations to come."
I am honored to help share the news on LanzaTech's behalf and join this impressive group in repairing and regenerating our world. With appearances this morning on The Today Show and Good Morning America, with articles in People, Town & Country, and Vanity Fair, today was an important day for our clients,
Congratulations to all the finalists.
For our other clients, we announced new leadership and were able to share additional stories on the launch of a new V2X charger. You can find links to all those stories below.
