BOSTON, Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Homeworld Collective, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit igniting the growth of climate biotechnology, today introduced their nonprofit as the go-to source for scientists, technologists, entrepreneurs, and funders committed to maximizing the impact of climate biotechnology for planetary health. The launch also coincides with the announcement of their grantmaking system for building the field of climate biotech, Homeworld Garden Grants. In its first cycle, Homeworld Collective will deploy $1M in funding for climate biotech. The organization's goal is to foster a cohesive community across academia, industry, and funders in climate biotech that is organized around clear pathways to impact and develop viable solutions for problems plaguing our planet.

Key Points: 
  • Daniel Goodwin, Ph.D., and Paul Reginato, Ph.D., founders of Homeworld Collective, began building their global community in 2019 after recognizing the dire lack of community, resources, funding, and education in the field of climate biotechnology.
  • Having started as an informal community, Homeworld Collective was officially established as a nonprofit in 2022.
  • "We are empowering an attitude of action-oriented climate optimism," said Paul Reginato, Founding Co-Director of Homeworld Collective.
  • In contrast, climate biotechnology currently lacks the social infrastructure and problem maps that can enable people to connect to impactful work.
