The Climate Tech Outlook for 2023
Climate tech in 2022 saw an 89% increase in year-on-year venture capital, according to HolonIQ, with more than $70 billion invested from January to December.* That’s even more significant since 2022 was a down year for venture capital funding in general — dollars invested were down 42% in the first 11 months compared to 2021.*
