🌍 Our Recap of the ClimateHack Community Day🌍 This past Wednesday evening, we had the pleasure of hosting a fantastic group of climate-tech innovators at the ClimateHack Community Day. It was an inspiring event full of collaboration, learning, and driving change towards a sustainable future. 💡✨ Here are some of our key takeaways from the event: 🔑Access to Infrastructure: Early-stage climate-tech companies face challenges accessing labs and materials. Universities and research institutions need to lower barriers and explore creative ways to share infrastructure. 💰Access to capital: More funding is crucial. Public money, grants, and loans must be made available, especially for deep-tech innovations. Just as solar and wind technologies gained traction through subsidies, new climate-tech needs financial support to scale. 🌍From Research to Innovation: While Switzerland excels in research, there’s a gap in translating it into commercial ventures. Stronger collaboration and a more seamless climate-tech ecosystem are needed to bridge research and commercialization, ensuring startups can thrive. A big thank you to: ClimateHack, Michelle Tschumi, Paul Baade Maurin Rüegg Miro Mayer Margaux Cepeda (Revel) Philipp A. Patrycja (Trysh) Metlewicz, and to everyone who participated and contributed to the event, making it such a success! 🚀 Are you working on a climate-tech solution and passionate about making a real impact on our environment? Applications are now open for the #KlimUp program! 🌱 What is #KlimUp? Zurich aims to become net zero by 2040, and #KlimUp is here to help make that vision a reality. The city of Zurich has launched this initiative to directly support climate-tech startups with scalable solutions. If you have the next big idea in climate-tech, this is your chance to be part of something impactful! 🔗 Apply now to be a part of the program: https://lnkd.in/d5BK9VKt Let’s continue pushing the boundaries of innovation to drive sustainable change! 🌍 #ClimateTech #NetZero2040 #Innovation #Sustainability #KlimUp #Zurich
