Accelerate your business with Energy Tech Challengers
Energy Tech Challengers is an annual event that brings together innovative companies working on solutions to decarbonize the planet and connects them with leading venture capitalists, corporations, and media voices. This is a fantastic opportunity for companies to present their ideas to a global audience and make valuable connections that can help them expand their business.
This year, Energy Tech Challengers is inviting companies to apply if they are working on technology solutions in the areas of green energy infrastructure, battery value chain, green molecules, or climate fintech. Additionally, we are also offering a wild card category, so startups tackling any other decarbonization challenge can apply.
In 2024, the focus will be on the most pressing net zero challenges and recognizing innovators with scalable and equitable solutions that have the potential to reach gigaton impact. If you are a company with innovative solutions to decarbonize the planet and are ready to take on the challenge, we encourage you to apply to Energy Tech Challengers today and showcase your ideas to the world!
