Climate Launchpad 2022

What is the ClimateLaunchpad?

ClimateLaunchpad is the world’s largest green business ideas competition.

Our mission is to unlock the world’s cleantech potential that addresses climate change. The competition nourishes ideas with sustainability impact, and provides a stage for them.
Fixing climate change – one startup at a time.

In 2022 [sic!] – students‘ innovation centre is organising the Climate Launchpad in Austria for the 7th time.

Do you have a green business idea?
Do you want to develop your idea, as well as your own skills?
Do you want to work with experienced coaches and receive support in your areas of need?
Do you want to meet inspiring people and to join a great network of like-minded people?

To enter the competition, submit your idea or innovation with environmental impact.
We’ll help you fast track that idea into a business and bypass all possible pitfalls along the way. You’ll learn how to get your idea funded and launched.

The final deadline has already passed for this year, we are looking forward for the now upcoming months and we will keep you up to date via our social media channels.
