Take Your Chance for 2 Million SEK in the Startup 4 Climate Competition!
For the fifth year running, Swedish startups focusing on climate and energy have the opportunity to apply to the Startup 4 Climate competition, one of Europe’s largest innovation competitions! The two winners share a 2 million SEK prize pool and get mentoring from leaders in the sector. Applications are open until August 25th, take your chance now!
Startup 4 Climate is one of Europe’s largest innovation competitions, pitting Swedish startups in sustainable energy development against each other for a grand prize pool of 2 million SEK and mentoring from some of Sweden’s premiere experts in the energy sector.
A competition with a legacy
The competition, celebrating its 5th anniversary, was founded by We Don’t Have Time partner GodEl alongside Swedish network provider Ellevio and has been partnered with We Don’t Have Time since 2021. Last year, both Startup 4 Climate winners were We Don’t Have Time partners: CemVision and Novige AB. This year it could be you!
Applications for Startup 4 Climate are open now and close at 24:00 CEST on August 25th. If you are an unlisted Swedish startup with less than 49 employees and an idea that accelerates the energy transition and has a clear benefit for the climate, don’t hesitate! Click the link below to apply, and maybe, you will be the next Startup 4 Climate.
Win-Win with We Don’t Have Time
After applications close on August 25th, the competition will move to its shortlisting phase. A jury and a public vote contribute to the shortlisting of eight candidates to be announced in October. The eight candidates are highlighted on We Don’t Have Time and invited to a pitch event in Stockholm to convince the jury of experts and become one of the winners.
This competition presents an opportunity to get crucial exposure, mentoring, and funds to expand your business. If you fit the criteria, make sure you take the chance and apply before the deadline, and we hope to see you highlighted on the platform as one of the winners!
