SXSW (South by Southwest) Net Zero by 2040: Hype or Hope?
The Midwest House, Austin, TX
12:30pm – 1:30pm CT
The Tech Industry Track at SXSW features people, platforms, software, hardware and virtual systems that are driving the world’s next wave of change. These sessions balance exciting discoveries against a world that has grown more skeptical about the benefits of the digital revolution.

One group of innovators from St. Louis is bullish that this vision can be realized as early as 2040.
