Eight of Sweden's hottest greentech companies ready for the final in Startup 4 Climate
Startup 4 Climate, the energy transition’s answer to Dragons Den with four times as much prize money as Robinson, has attracted a record number of contributions and an unprecedented interest from the public ahead of this year’s edition of the competition. Now the jury has named seven out of eight finalists with submissions covering everything from fossil-free cement, fusion energy and organic batteries, to AI for buildings. Climate gaming also gets a chance after the game Climatopia received the most votes out of 8,200 in The People’s Vote.
The eight finalists will now proceed to the final round on November 15, where they will pitch their innovations to the jury. Here you can find Johanna Mossberg from the Swedish Energy Agency, angel investor Jane Walerud, professor Lina Bertling Tjernberg, Stefan Krook who founded GodEl and Kivra, and Johan Lindehag CEO of the energy company Ellevio.
“A success factor for the climate and energy transition is new ideas, technical innovations and scalable solutions. The purpose of Startup 4 Climate is to highlight and support innovations in the energy field with measurable climate benefits, and over the years the competition has become a platform for many startups that can take the next step in their development. The climate wins when new technology, entrepreneurship, and social interest come together,” says Johan Lindehag, CEO of Ellevio and jury member.
Startup 4 Climate is founded and run by Ellevio and GodEl, in collaboration with the innovation hub THINGS and social climate network We Don´t Have Time.org.
