Introducing the first

Clim@ Scaler cohort

Meet the top 7 ventures who will participate in the Clim@ Scaler 2022 program

We are excited to share that the Clim@ Scaler 2022 green ventures have been selected. After launching the Clim@ Scaler on March 8th, we received over 150 applications from 28 different countries. The selected ventures solve problems  across smart irrigation, smart city, energy supply optimization, renewable energy generation, carbon reduction, and circular economy segments. In April we took the time to evaluate them, and we have invited the top 25 to be interviewed. Today we are excited to share with you the top 7 ventures who have been selected to partake in the Clim@ Scaler 2022. 

An important criteria that led us to  selecting these ventures was their ability to create direct impact, solve pressing climate challenges, and last but not least the  founders vision, as behind any successful venture there is a dedicated team that is driving it forward. Therefore, the following ventures all have a visionary team with great potential to scale their impact. We are looking forward together with teams at Green for Growth Fund (GGF) to help them reach their next milestones. 

Introducing the 7 Ventures who will participate in Clim@ Scaler:

We are confident that the program will help us gain some valuable insights, spanning from industrial expertise to access to potential investors and partners, all essential elements in our expansion plan for the coming year.”

 

The next step for these ventures is to go through an extensive needs assessment with Rockstart and the GGF TAF where we dive deeper into each venture and understand what their challenges are when it comes to scaling. We will then tailor the Clim@ Scaler 2022 to these needs, and see where we can best support.
