Frans on green business. Plus: 2019 season off to a great start & new countries

Hey all,

Our 2019 edition is off to a strong start with the Boot Camps kicking off across the globe and 908 new and fresh business ideas already entered. #yay

A whole bunch of new countries
We couldn’t be more proud to welcome 16 new countries to our ClimateLaunchpad community:

Barbados

Canada

Colombia

Egypt

Ethiopia

Georgia

Ghana

Jamaica

Kazakhstan

Maldives

Mauritius

Pakistan

Russia

South Africa

Suriname

Uzbekistan

Applications are now open in all these countries.

To sum it up: we are live in 66 locations in 48 countries on all continents this year. #howglobalisthat?

As usual, here are some of the best green business & start-up reads I found on the web recently:
– Why we need to step up our game: global renewables capacity stalled in 2018.
– The one piece of advice by Steve Blank that could make or break your career.
– A manifesto for green hydrogen to contribute 50% in Europe’s future energy demand.

Have a great day,

Frans Nauta
Founder ClimateLaunchpad
