ABOUT THE CONTEST

The goal of the Hello CleanTech 3.0 programme is to create a platform that will enable start-ups, innovators and researchers to reach international corporations and establish potential cooperation.

Programme partners will have the opportunity to individually assess and establish a direct relationship with companies, providing suitable and future-proof solutions. Thanks to the programme structure, each solution can find its potential investor or customer. In addition, selected applicants will have the opportunity to pitch their solutions at the Demo Day.

If you are an industry partner, venture capital company or business angel seeking innovation, join us in shaping a sustainable future. Be part of the cleantech revolution – apply now and help transform the energy sector!
