The Future of Protein Production’s Post

Exciting dynamics in sustainable investment ✨ Here is a selected list from @Sifted of 10 startups making waves in the built environment space! What do they all have in common? Decarbonisation! ✅ From home financing solutions to energy installation, these startups are at the forefront of eco-innovation, showing how green technology can reshape our built environment. 🌱 Given that the sector has long been the highest global emitter, innovative early stage initiatives in the built world are fast merging the gap between the conventional industry practices and green energy solutions. We are super excited to finally see the signs of this green transformation and we think that Europe needs more of these examples 🌿 One thing caught our attention though: only two startups from EU-27 (Belgium and France)! Should we give more attention and support to those homegrown startups?

Don't miss this amazing interview with Pippa Gawley 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🚀One of the most important aspects of our accelerator programme is our relationship with investors. ▶️▶️In this interview, Pippa tells us more about Zero Carbon Capital and her experience in the sustainability sector, but also gives us some insight into what deep-tech funds are looking for in the climate/sustainability vertical when investing in a startup: 🎙️“It's an interesting time for climate tech and for impact investing more broadly. I think the last year has been a very difficult one for fundraising. But climate tech as a sector has been relatively insulated. It will also point towards it having a faster recovery because there's clearly a consensus upon around this technology being non-negotiable of being not just critical to the planet, but also a great investment opportunity”. 🎙️“All venture capital funds are looking for a high growth and high value creation business. If I had to give advice it would be: be really clear about what you are doing is different and why you are the right person for doing this”. 📢📢If you also have a sustainability startup and want to meet more investors, Clean Cities ClimAccelerator is also your accelerator programme.

Embracing sustainable design and development is more than an environmental choice for startups: it's a strategic business decision. Here's why: Integrating sustainable technology is crucial – not just for the environment, but for your startup's growth, customer trust, and long-term viability. Adopting renewable energy, low-carbon design, and efficient digital solutions is an essential aspect of contemporary business, directly contributing to your startup's resilience and relevance. At Green Heights Digital, we are pioneering this not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it makes perfect business sense. It's a path to innovation and sustainability, hand in hand. #greentech #sustainablebusiness #startupgrowth

Cleantech investments are the rise once again, with a massive surge in both public and private spending💸 Illustrating this, in the last year, roughly, total green investments have climbed to $213 billion in the US alone. The difference is, this time we cannot afford to fail. Saying that, tangible advancements must not be viewed as synonymous with techno-optimism, which is a trap many startups fall into. Let's see what the future of cleantech has to bring this time round. #Cleantech #GreenInnovation #ClimateTech

We were participating in the Innovation Capital Forum, a joint initiative of 18 institutions from the productive, scientific, financial, and state sectors that seek to boost the growth of startups and companies through investment in science, technology, and innovation. 🚀💡 In the 15th edition of this event, Nahuel Olaiz, CSO and Co-Founder of Einsted presented our project along with seven other startups. At the same time, throughout the process, we received training, personalized business mentoring, and professional advice that allowed us to review our business model and prepare us for upcoming investment rounds and even access new markets. We are very grateful for this experience and committed to take our startup to the next level. 🚀🌎💚 #Innovation #GreenStartups #CapitalForum #Technology #Science #LocalDevelopment #Investment #Decarbonization #Hydrogen.
