About 40% of all carbon emissions worldwide are generated from building and managing real estate?
When serial entrepreneur Michael Beckerman learned of this, he made it his mission (along with his team at CRETech.com) to rally the commercial real estate industry around reducing their collective carbon footprint while simultaneously seeing opportunity in adopting new technologies.
Recently, they launched CRETech Climate to offer curated content, events, and more to the real estate industry on all things climate tech.
