The Greenhouse ClimateTech Demo Day Cohort 9
Join Undaunted to celebrate Cohort 9 Demo Day!
Imperial’s climate innovation community will come together to celebrate the ninth cohort of cleantech startups coming to the end of their time on our unique accelerator programme, The Greenhouse. The founders will pour what they’ve learnt over the past 12 months into impressive pitches to investors on the historic stage at The Royal Institution.
If you’re an investor or supporter of climate innovation, it’s a fantastic opportunity to hear from passionate early-stage founders who are on a mission to make the future more sustainable and equitable, and to learn about exciting ideas and technologies at the forefront of tackling climate change.
Schedule and keynote speakers to be revealed shortly!
