Who can join ClimateLaunchpad?

Anyone with a promising cleantech idea who dreams of becoming an entrepreneur should join. You can be a new start-up, SME, researcher, student, public organisation, consultant, engineer, a combination of the above or something that doesn’t fit a job title. Don’t worry if you don’t have a business plan ready! We are here to help!

You can only submit your application in your own country. Check this page to find out if there is a ClimateLaunchpad competition in your country.

You can only apply in your own country and you can only enter if:

  • You have not yet started a business or your company has been incorporated for less than two years  (definition: your legal entity does not exist for more than 2 years);
  • Your new venture has attracted less than € 200.000 in total funding (this includes all funding, like grants, government loans, angel and/or VC investments, et cetera)
  • You have not yet sold products, solutions or prototypes on commercial terms.

You cannot enter ClimateLaunchpad if you have:

  • Already been accepted into Climate-KIC (pre-/Clim)Accelerator with the same idea;
  • Already been accepted into ClimateLaunchpad (or the former CleanLaunchpad) in a previous year with the same idea.
