TanLIVE, co-developed with 10 other international and local partners including Impact Hub Shanghai and Plug and Play China, brings together technical tools and insights to accelerate the implementation of climate solutions.\nDespite the pressing need for action on climate change, innovators continue to struggle to identify and access the resources and organizations required to drive real change. Through the TanLIVE community, users can tap different resources such as funds, pilot scenarios, and competitions to spur innovation and build influence.\nThe launch of TanLIVE focuses on three major functions: resources, tools, and user systems:\n\n Resource Planet enables enterprises, investors and incubators to publish their supporting resources to entrepreneurs.\n Tool Lab gathers policy insights, data, and analysis tools required for low-carbon innovation.\n TanLIVE Passport integrates user accounts for all partner sites, enabling users to access various resources and tools with just one unified account.\n\nThe low-carbon innovation Tool Lab provides tools and data to help innovators find local policies, open tenders, and investors, with more features coming in the next few months.\nAs an aggregator of low-carbon platforms, TanLIVE Passport connects those user systems, saves the trouble of creating multiple accounts, and grants easy access to various low-carbon platforms.\n\"There is an imminent need to address climate change and facilitate the transition into a low-carbon economy,\" said Hao Xu, Vice President of Tencent Sustainable Social Value (SSV) and Head of Tencent Carbon Neutral Lab at the launch event held today in Shanghai. \"Transformation of traditional industries into low-carbon models engages a long value chain. Digitalization can help connect the dots across the value chain and significantly improve efficiency in catalyzing and scaling innovations.\"\nTo celebrate the platform's kickoff, the co-founders of TanLIVE also joined the event, including BottleDream, Nengjian, Plug and Play China,...
