The ClimateLaunchPad competition aims to accelerate innovation that enables a low-carbon future. The competition scouts cleantech talent and helps them grow their sustainable idea into a global business. By looking for the world's best sustainability ideas, ClimateLaunchPad aims to unlock the world’s cleantech potential and create opportunities for innovators to address climate change. The competition is open to early stage cleantech entrepreneurs, researchers and students with a green business idea. The business idea can be an innovation in renewable energy, a sustainable transition in the food chain, a mind shift in urban mobility or any other way to tackle climate change. In Finland, ClimateLaunchPad 2017 kicks off in May with an intensive Boot Camp and follow-up Coaching Sessions. In June, the teams compete in the ClimateLaunchPad National Final in front of an expert jury. On top of this, the top-3 teams will be sent to Cyprus in October to pitch their ideas in the Grand Final.
