Hey all,
On the competition side of things: all is under control and running smoothly. So far 1,264 green business ideas applied across the globe. Will we hit the magic 2,000 this year? #keepcounting #keepthemcoming #record
Why winning awards is not always a good thing
We have said it before, ClimateLaunchpad is not about winning. It is about the training, coaching and network that help build successful businesses.
Of course, it is great to win and being an entrepreneur sparks a competitive drive – nothing wrong with that. But there are downsides to winning awards that may even stagnate business success. Paying customers make a business thrive, winning competitions does not. This short blog explains.
And as usual, here are a few recent good reads on green business:
- International solar alliance proposes inter-country solar power trading.
- Recycling key pillar of sustainable battery production.
- Global carbon dioxide measurements spike to record high (yeah, that sucks, we’re going to need many more entrepreneurs in cleantech).
Hope you have a great day,
Frans Nauta
Founder ClimateLaunchpad
