SUMMARY:Rural Innovation: How Mauka is Revolutionizing the Forestry Industry
DESCRIPTION:Traditional forestry has substantial environmental impact due to the use of heavy equipment and inefficient practices. Adoption of electric vehicles is hindered by rough terrain and remote environments. But Mauka Energy has found a solution. Their technology enables the use of electric vehicles through tools that calculate and optimize energy use\, ensuring safety for forestry workers while dramatically increasing the environmental sustainability of the sector. \nJoin David Hamilton\, CTO/CFO of Mauka Energy and Rachel Jagoda Brunette\, CEO of Regional Accelerator & Innovation Network for a virtual conversation on how Mauka Energy launched and scaled a company centered on the needs of a rural industry. Learn how the founders identified the need for Mauka’s solutions\, funded and built their product\, and found partners and customers to enable their growth. \nThis event is supported by Powerize NW. \nWhen: Thu. Mar 26th\, 2026 | 2:00pm – 3:00pm\nWhere: Virtual Event | Register for Link
