Next Tuesday, May 6th, we will be joined by Dr. Xinwo Huang, Senior Director at Tencent, and Tencent Business Analysis Manager ​Dr. Safina Huang, who will introduce Tencent’s unique funding CarbonX Program 2.0, which will provide millions of grants for CDR projects. Submissions are due at the end of May, so this might be your last opportunity to learn about this program and ask questions of key decision makers about how best to prepare your materials for success. We think this is an incredible opportunity for the OpenAir community, not just Carbon Removal Challenge teams.
