What is your background?
Thinkubator is a think tank for circular economy and sustainable entrepreneurship. With our three pillars: Education, Research and Consulting, we engage in various activities that contribute to close the knowledge action gap in climate change mitigation.
Why did you become country leads?
Thinkubator was a ClimateLaunchpad participant and audience award winner in 2022. As such, we could experience the impact and value of the ClimateLaunchpad Program and Community first hand. We are convinced that the ClimateLaunchpad is an important institution for sustainable entrepreneurship and as such should not be missing in any startup ecosystem.
Why do you think this competition is so important?
The power of entrepreneurial thinking, working and creating can achieve great things. Impact entrepreneurs use this potential to solve the biggest problems of our time. The ClimateLaunchpad helps them find the right focus and build strong partnerships right from the start.
How does your organisation support cleantech start-ups?
As a Think Tank, we are active in the areas of research, education and consulting and help with the transfer of knowledge between science and business. It is particularly important to us to support the transfer of knowledge to start-ups and entrepreneurs.
