Meet your National Leads of ClimateLaunchpad Japan
What is your background?
The Purpose Driven Innovation Ecosystem = PDIE Group brings together change makers, innovators, entrepreneurs, corporates and investors to co-create a better tomorrow by scaling locally built sustainable innovations to international markets. We have three pillars of our activities: The PDIE Institute to educate and inspire and build awareness, the PDIE Consulting for executing on solutions, matching of investors and carrying out projects and the PDIE Ecosystem Building for holding curated events and large scale conferences in which we identify future opinion leaders. We also partner with the Earthshot Prize nominating game changing initiatives to repair the planet by innovation.
Why did you become a National Lead?
We felt that ClimateLaunchpad would be a great way to expand our ecosystem with younger entrepreneurs and ideas which will contribute to combat Climate Change. We are excited to be on this journey and also learn a lot by ourselves.
How does your organisation support clean tech start-ups?
We are running and nurturing a global network of investors and help the most game changing and scalable solutions to find investors. We also connect startups with business opportunities and connect them with our corporate network.
