“Through our collaboration with C2V, we are interacting with high quality startups in the carbon capture space and the workshops and discovery groups we have attended have helped challenge us to develop new ideas and solutions.”

— Maurits van Tol, Former Chief Technology Officer and CLC representative for Johnson Matthey, now CEO Catalyst Technologies at Johnson Matthey

“CLC is one of the most impactful meetings I am able to be a part of in the space. It is a group of deeply experienced and expert individuals who come together from various industries, and they seem to come ready to engage and even share. This is quite unusual especially in the industrial corporate sphere, but also very valuable.”

— Marcius Extavour, Former CLC representative for XPRIZE
