ClimateLaunchpad 2015 - European Final

4 September '15 8:30 - 4 September '15 19:30

Meet Europe’s next generation of cleantech entrepreneurs.

ClimateLaunchpad is Europe’s largest cleantech business idea competition with currently a presence in 28 countries. Our mission is to unlock Europe’s cleantech potential and support innovations that address climate change. With a massive number of over 700 start-ups to enter the competition it’s safe to say there are plenty of good ideas to tackle climate change. In each country a selection of the best ideas and teams started a rousing ride with Boot Camps and follow-up Coaching Sessions. The participants learned to perfect their pitch, sharpen their value proposition and solidify their business model. In just a few months, the ideas grew into solid business concepts. By now most of the countries have selected their Top-3, who will join us in B.Amsterdam for the exiting European Final on September 4th.
