Show Notes
Massachusetts climate tech startups, like PowerLabs and Sublime Systems, are grappling with federal funding cuts under the Trump administration. PowerLabs, makers of the Roav portable solar generator, are struggling despite early Navy funding. Sublime Systems lost an $87 million DOE grant, leading to layoffs and paused construction. The uncertainty has slowed hiring, experiments, and market speed. Some firms are adapting by pursuing military deals, nuclear tech, or carbon capture incentives. Governor Maura Healey is pushing state support through the Mass Leads Act, with $1 billion over ten years and new research funding proposals. Despite federal pullback, state officials remain committed to long-term support, betting on global demand for these innovations.
