ClimateLaunchpad

**About ClimateLaunchpad** **What is ClimateLaunchpad?** ClimateLaunchpad is the world’s largest green business ideas competition. Our mission is to unlock the world’s cleantech potential that addresses climate change. We fill a gap in developing a pipeline of early-stage climate ventures and provide a platform for those ideas to flourish. ClimateLaunchpad is part of the Entrepreneurship offerings of [Climate KIC](http://www.climate-kic.org). **Who are we?** We are people determined to address the negative impacts of climate change by way of innovation and invention. ClimateLaunchpad is run by a central European team from [Climate KIC](https://www.climate-kic.org/), alongside the support of our National Leads, who help deliver the programme locally in each participating country. **Why are we passionate about ClimateLaunchpad?** Here’s the thing. We are dead serious about tackling climate change. And we’re convinced that investing in ideas and entrepreneurs is the way to go about it. A green and clean future demands thousands of innovations challenging the current business models. That’s why. **What do we do?** There are a lot of great ideas out there for improving lives and reducing emissions. Some of them remain in the idea stage, never taking the next step and becoming viable. Some of them need an extra push. They need a bit of mentoring. Some training. The benefit of experience. They need lessons from entrepreneurial failures and successes. With coaching and support, a number of ideas can become reality. This is where we come in. The team at ClimateLaunchpad supports new cleantech start-ups. We do this with partners [around the globe](https://climatelaunchpad.org//countries/). ClimateLaunchpad offers training, coaching, and support.
