The 27th, 28th and 29th of October were the days hundreds of people have been waiting for since the beginning of this year. The Global Grand Final launched during these days to examine the minute details of each Climate Launchpad Startup and announce the 2021 Global Grand finalists with overall winners.
It is fair to say that the competition was tough. Out of 56 countries, 3020 creatives signed up to the program and 780 made it all the way through the webinars, training, pitch rehearsals, seminars, etc.
Circular Influence had the honour of introducing 7 startups on the Global stage:
BARE NATIVE
TERROIR FROM SPACE
VACACA
ECOPOWER
GENESIS HYDROKINETIC
TRACESURFER
VIAJEROMARKET
The best of the best were chosen to compete and seek international recognition amongst other great innovative startups.
In the first days of the Globals Grand Final, the audience was witnessing an intensive pitching session from 70 teams. All of these were carefully evaluated and the best 16 finalists were selected in the semi-finals. Circular Influence is beyond excited to introduce you to not only one, but two of our Italian teams that have made it through the semi-finals:
BARE NATIVE & ECODIGINSECT
Bare Native has entered under the theme of Food Systems while EcoDigIncest was recognized as the Next Big Thing. Both of these winners will receive the ClimateLaunchpad Accelerator which will provide even further opportunities to advance their idea.
Congratulations to both fantastic teams!
