56th Boston Hardware Meetup @ Greentown Labs | Climate Tech
The 56th Boston Hardware Meetup is coming in hot on the tail of our last event and promises to keep the energy up!
We're extremely excited to join our friends at Greentown Labs and FORGE as they host us in Greentown's incubator in Somerville.
We'll hear from Greentown Labs member companies who are working to build extraordinary climatetech innovations and get an inside take on what it is like to turn cutting edge science into hardened tech.
Our speakers are:
Joseph Sanchez, Hardware Engineering Manager at H2Ok Innovations. H2Ok Innovations is leading the charge in cleantech innovation, reshaping process industrials and manufacturing to drive operational efficiency and sustainability for our world’s most foundational industries. Powered by their H2Ok AI models and state-of-the-art sensors, their solutions optimize facility performance across various processes, including process manufacturing, production, water management, energy reduction, and waste minimization. Their technology is scaling globally across industry giants such as Unilever, The Coca-Cola Company, ABinBev, PepsiCo, Colgate-Palmolive, and Mitsubishi Electric. They're dedicated to unlocking the full potential of data, empowering customers to gain a competitive edge, embrace Industry 4.0, drive sustainability forward, and create the factories of tomorrow.
Patrick Herring, Cofounder and Chief Software Officer at Glimpse. Glimpse was founded on the premise that the battery industry has spent the past two decades scaling up cell production and advancing performance—while relying on an outdated and insufficient set of quality control tools. CT scanning has consistently been the go-to method for diagnosing issues, but it's remained a low-volume, costly lab instrument. We co-founded Glimpse to change that: transforming CT scanning into the world’s most powerful, high-speed quality monitoring platform.
Cassie Lowell and Casey Johnson, cofounders of studio 3e8. Studio 3e8 has developed innovative metal 3D printing technology - on your desk, budget, and timeline. We deliver a fully integrated hardware, software, and materials ecosystem that enables part production at the speed of information. Our mission is to make professional-grade fabrication affordable, compact, and easy to use — putting tomorrow's manufacturing capabilities into the hands of today's designers.
Hardware Meetups happen across 30+ cities around the world, bringing together hardware professionals to network and learn from each other.

Parking
Parking is incredibly limited at Greentown Labs and we encourage attendees to consider taking advantage of public transportation. We’re a short walk from the recently opened Union Square station, as well as 1 mile away from both the Harvard and Porter MBTA stations. Union Square in Somerville is also easily accessible via the #86 and #91 MBTA buses. We offer bike parking on-site and the closest Bluebikes stations are at Dane St., Conway Park and Union Square.
