NYC Tech Quote of the Week

“The industrial sector is notoriously hard to decarbonize, and hardware solutions like carbon capture and storage come with a hefty price tag and daunting implementation process. White-box AI software requires no capital expenditure and can be quickly implemented. This means companies can immediately start reducing emissions and quantify emissions reduction more accurately with easy-to-understand dashboards and reports.”— Berk Birand, co-founder and CEO of Fero Labs

Fero Labs secured $15M. Using AI to help optimize the manufacturing industry for cost and carbon emissions, Fero Labs raised growth funding led by Climate Investment. Fero’s platform equips plant operators with insights into the root causes of any issue in their processes and helps them implement updates for sustainably and performance. This latest round brings its total capital raised to $30 million. [PR Newswire]
