Capture6, alongside the other finalists will present their solutions at the upcoming Wilkes Climate Summit on May 14th at the Eccles Alumni House at the University of Utah.
The Wilkes Climate Launch Prize is one of the largest university-affiliate climate awards in the world and is geared to spur innovation and breakthroughs. The prize is specifically calibrated to support unconventional or first-of-a-kind projects that often have difficulty getting funding.
The finalists’ solutions will be evaluated by a team of expert judges for scalable impact, feasibility, and potential for co-benefits for communities, economies, or ecosystems.
A single winner of the Launch Prize will be announced in September 2024.
