The Climate-KIC Venture Competition brings together 15 of the most promising startups from the Climate-KIC Accelerator programme to compete for the title of #BestClimateVenture.
The Climate-KIC Accelerator programme supports hundreds of startups across Europe every year and is the only EU acceleration programme focused on climate impact by cleantech commercialisation.
Each country has selected the most promising startups from the accelerator to pitch their business ideas at the Venture Competition in Frankfurt hosted during the Climate Innovation Summit on November 8.
The startups will pitch to a panel of judges who will assess the robustness of their business model, their ability and readiness to scale, as well as their ability to work in partnership with others. The prizes include 80,000EUR for the winner, 50,000EUR for the runner-up plus an additional 10,000EUR for both winners to spend on a communications campaign.
