What ClimateLaunchpad is looking for

Your idea can be an innovation in renewable energy, a sustainable transition in the food supply chain, a mind shift in urban mobility or any other way to tackle climate change. As long as it’s in the cleantech domain: “A scientific innovation that uses existing technology to do more with fewer resources, and has a commercial driver.”

Check out this video from Explania for a thorough explanation of the cleantech space.

Even if your idea is still on the back of a napkin, you’re most welcome to join. Not sure if your idea fits the bill? Contact us, we’re happy to help.
