You think you can tackle climate change? Climate-KIC launches Europe's largest cleantech business idea competition!

CleanLaunchpad is Europe’s largest cleantech business idea competition. Our mission? To unlock Europe’s cleantech potential. We support start-ups that address climate change and shape the world’s next economy.

In three stages the CleanLaunchpad competition leads-up to the EU finals in October in Valencia, Spain. The winner of the EU final receives € 10,000, the runner up gets € 5,000 and the idea that comes in third place wins € 2,500. And the real prize is that these three winners also get accepted into the Climate-KIC Accelerator, the world’s first real-life business school for promising cleantech entrepreneurs. This rock solid 18-month program is where great ideas grow into great businesses. What it takes

If your idea is about sustainability and you have what it takes to become an entrepreneur, CleanLaunchpad could be your ticket to European and global success. The competition is not just about having a good idea though. You need to be ready to work harder than ever before and dream bigger than you thought possible. And preferably have a good sense of humour. If you bring that to the table we guarantee you a steep learning curve.
