Why wouldn’t you apply if you have a climate idea… What do you have to lose? You will only make something of your idea by connecting with people and iterating on it – CLP is a perfect “launchpad” to do this.

ClimateLaunchpad really validated what we were doing at a very early stage. It gave me a lot of valuable tools and methodologies to follow to help build and shape a customer focused business.
The whole team were amazing and supportive and I enjoyed the process of the sessions but also since then having some cheerleaders for what we do out in the world!

How do you know if ClimateLaunchpad is for you?
ClimateLaunchpad will be valuable to you if:
ClimateLaunchpad is laser-focused on helping you find your very first customers, get in their heads, and solve a problem that’s driving them up the wall.
Your 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 as long as it’s in the cleantech domain. That means it’s “a scientific innovation that uses existing or new technology to do more with fewer resources and has a commercial driver.” Even if your idea is still on the back of a napkin, you’re most welcome to join.
