The goal of this programme is to gain unique and crucial knowledge from a partner organisation, such as Circular Influence, and compete against other startups that have found solutions to climate-related concerns. All that it takes to participate is identifying an issue and proposing an idea that may offer its solution.
Some applicants have been developing their business model and idea for years and others for a couple of weeks, nonetheless, Climate Launchpad provides the space to anyone.
After many weeks of practice, webinars, pitch rehearsals and other preparations the peak of this programme arrives. Firstly, startups compete with other teams from the same country at the National Final. The second stage is the Regional Final where all teams from one region, such as the whole of Europe, pitch in front of a jury. The absolutely best ideas make it to the Global Grand Final where the jury selects the teams with the highest potential.
