ClimateLaunchpad 2022 is an EIT Climate-KIC prize that runs a global cleantech business-idea competition through national and regional finals, awarding up to €10,000 to the Global Grand Final winner. In 2022 the competition ran in 62 countries, with entrants applying only to their own country's national programme, attending a Boot Camp and pitching at a National Final, then a Regional Final. Regio

ClimateLaunchpad wants early cleantech ideas that use existing technology to do more with fewer resources and carry a commercial driver, spanning renewable energy, sustainable food systems, urban mobility or any other approach to tackling climate change. It welcomes new startups, SMEs, researchers, students, public organisations, consultants and engineers, even when the idea is still just a concept. Entrants must not yet have sold products or solutions on commercial terms.
