The opening comes after the green energy incubator broke ground Feb. 3.
“As we celebrate the grand opening of Greentown Labs Houston today, I am glad to see since we broke ground in February, more Houston companies have joined the incredibly diverse group of partners supporting Greentown Labs in our city,” Turner said. “It is a testament to our business community’s commitment to do their part in implementing the Houston Climate Action Plan, address climate change and advance the global energy transition.”
In a few weeks time, Greentown Labs Houston will welcome 30 inaugural green energy startup companies and allow them to grow, develop and take their products to market. The facility has the space to allow for 50 startups capable of supporting up to 300 employees, offering prototyping labs, offices and community space.
