Welcome to the 1776 newsletter—your pulse on trends and startups innovating in industries that matter. Here you’ll find news on education, energy, health and cities, followed by events and classes where we hope to see you.
Between the drop in oil prices, Obama and China's recent discussion on carbon emissions and much more happening in this space, we took a look at the impact innovation and startups could have on this potentially perfect storm.
The 1776 team is also in Jordan this week to host Challenge Cup Amman. Among the many interesting findings our Challenge Cup reporter, Dena Levitz, was the progressive culture around female entrepreneurs. Finally, back in the U.S., Edward Metz of the Department of Education talks about the one government program startups absolutely need to know about.
It's a great week to keep reading and if you're interested in seeing your byline on 1776, be sure to reach out at editor@1776dc.com.
