Bootcamp

There’s a lot of exciting things happening at Climate-KIC’s Berlin office! From October 10th through 12th, all eighteen stage 1 startups from the DACH region came together in Climate KIC’s Green Garage. Over the course of their time here, these teams learned valuable information to help their companies be as successful as possible. They learned all about how to best present their ideas and products to others, and also got the opportunity to practice with experts. Did we mention that there was free pizza🍕?

For any startup, it is crucial for an audience to quickly understand what exactly the product is and why it matters. These BootCamp sessions help the startups to perfect their pitch and broaden their horizons. We are excited to have eighteen new clean tech startups working with us and we can’t wait to see what sort of environmental impact they’ll make! They have fantastic ideas to make the world a better place, and we might have the tools to ensure that these ideas really come to life. From cups made from coffee grounds to net zero buildings, these startups are each unique but pursue the same goal: fighting climate change. Want to learn more?
