On September 8, Gigi Alsaadi presented her work as a CRANE Fellow at Prime Coalition during the final poster presentation of her Master of Environmental Science (MEnvSc) program at the University of Toronto. Her studies focused on environmental policy and legislation, project management, and science communication—skills she has applied directly in her fellowship at Prime.

Gigi Alsaadi, CRANE fellow at Prime Coalition, highlights the essential role of nonprofits in scaling sustainable technologies at the Sustainable Engineers Association's (SEA) “2025 Sustainability Conference: Adaptation – Planning for Future Challenges."

Prime Coalition was honored to join the 15,000+ guests and 750+ organizations participating in this year’s San Francisco Climate Week (SFCW). The Prime team hosted and participated in 4 key events at SFCW, including two Prime hosted events, which were our Climate Finance Reception and our CRANE Tool launch at the panel discussion, Understanding the Future Impacts of Climate Tech — Today.

Additionally, Lara Pierpoint, Managing Director of Trellis Climate, also spoke at two other events, including LabStart’s discussion on how organizations are supporting climate tech entrepreneurs and the Scaling Hardtech Climate Solutions: a FOAK (First of a Kind) Summit. We’re excited to share our topline highlights from each of these events.
