ClimateLaunchpad Brazil 2026: From Brazil to the Americas
The ClimateLaunchpad Brazil 2026 journey has reached an important milestone.
After a selection process that brought together innovative climate solutions from across Brazil, 13 startups joined this year’s program, taking part in an intensive Boot Camp and mentoring journey designed to strengthen their businesses, refine their solutions and prepare them for the international stages of the competition.
The journey reached its first major milestone at the ClimateLaunchpad Brazil National Final, held on August 11, where the startups presented their solutions to a panel of judges.
Now, three Brazilian startups will take the next step and compete in the ClimateLaunchpad Americas Regional Final, taking place on September 3 and 4, 2026.
Meet the Brazilian winners:
TRACKGAINS – 1st Place
