Clean Tech and the Reboot of American Manufacturing

Sustainability, clean technologies, and the push for decarbonization are somewhat loaded topics these days, but there's no doubt that this area is seeing plenty of interest, investment, and innovation. Milo Werner is a general partner at DCVC , a 15-year-old venture fund that invests in deep tech. Warner works on the energy and climate platform, investing in companies that are commercializing advanced green technologies. She also runs a non-profit called NextGen Industry Group , which supports companies that are commercializing advanced technologies. The group organizes events for leaders in this space to facilitate shared thinking around strategy and execution, and does a number of projects with institutions such as ASME. Werner joins ASME TechCast to share some insights into the U.S. re-industrialization movement, what to look for in clean tech investment, and how the field is evolving for engineers entering the green economy workforce. She also discusses how a standard process for commercializing these technologies could accelerate re-industrialization in the United States—something that’s now under development as part of a partnership with ASME.
