Are you interested in climate change and want to give entrepreneurship a try? Want to develop your ideas and be in with a chance of winning a £1500 cash prize? Then sign up for the Climate Challenge, an early-stage climate entrepreneurship training programme and competition for postgrads and postdocs at the University of Cambridge.
Over the course of the Lent Term, come along to free training sessions to learn about effective storytelling, voluntary carbon markets, intellectual property rights, pitching your ideas and more. Meet likeminded individuals and share ideas over pizza and pub socials! Participants will form teams of 2-3 to propose scalable solutions to climate challenges. Shortlisted teams will pitch their ideas to our expert panel of judges at the final, where the winning team will receive a £1500 cash prize, and the two runner-up teams will receive a £750 cash prize.
The Climate Challenge is run by Cambridge Zero, in partnership with Cambridge Enterprise, Carbon13, the Maxwell Centre, Energy IRC, King’s Entrepreneurship Lab and CISL Canopy, with support from Moda Living.
