Clime Night | Find your climate startup idea
Are you an aspiring climate entrepreneur, looking for a good idea for launching a tech startup that can have a big positive impact on people and planet?
This meetup and hands-on workshop, tailored for busy professionals, will help get you going. We'll introduce you to industry experts and the big issues they are seeing in domains like mobility, food, (climate) finance, and beyond. Our practical exercises will then help you turn the expert insights into meaningful startup ideas. To top if off, you'll meet fellow ambitious professionals who are keen to jump into climate entrepreneurship (including, who knows, maybe your future co-founder!).
Don't wait! Tickets will be limited to ensure high-quality interactions with experts and fellow participants. Register now to secure your seat.
Why join us:
Pick the brains of domain experts: understand which industry problems could be worth solving (business and climate-wise) and get immediate sparring on your first ideas.
Connect with like-minded professionals who want to supercharge their positive climate impact and exploring tech entrepreneurship as the way to do it.
Head home (or into the night) with a first-cut startup idea, a list of potential co-founders, and the inspiration to take action!
