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.
