Hey all,
Our motto is that we fix climate change, one start-up at a time. We may have to adjust that as we keep smashing our own targets. This year we wanted to supersede our 2018 record with 500 applications and hit the magic 2,500. Well, last week we nailed it. And we are still counting.
Applications are still open in a number of countries.

Get ready for the biggest green tech business event of the year
On November 14 & 15 Amsterdam will turn into the green innovation capital of the world as it will host our Global Grand Final. The two-day event will be packed with the global crème de la crème of green start-ups pitching, provocative keynotes and interactive master classes.
As always, here is a selection of interesting green business reads I recently stumbled on:
-
Adverse economic conditions are driving coal out of European energy markets even faster than previously thought.
-
DIY solar LEAF project shows the untapped potential of solar EVs.
-
The woman who discovered the cause of global warming was long overlooked.
That’s it for now, have a great day,
Frans Nauta
