The Cleantech Challenge brings together students from all backgrounds to drive the future of climate innovation.
Finalist teams will join a two-day, in-person programme at the London Business School, where they will receive industry mentorship, sharpen their solutions, and compete for £40,000 in prize funding to help turn ideas into impact.
The Challenge is made possible by our generous sponsors Gore Street Capital and Sky Zero.
This year's final takes place on 22nd & 23rd April 2026.
