Tech Nation has unveiled the latest 25 innovative ClimateTech companies to join its Climate Programme.
The organisation, described as the UK’s leading growth platform and industry body for startups and their teams – part of Founder’s Forum Group – says the four-month growth programme accelerates high-potential tech startups that bridge the gap between climate innovation and industry.
The programme supports leading climate tech companies to scale their impact by accessing the right investors and multinational customers, and by providing founders with a platform to advance climate policy and remove regulatory barriers.
Backed by Tech Nation’s Founding Partner, HSBC Innovation Banking, and EDF Energy, this year’s Climate Programme showcases a diverse and global cohort.
Over a third (36%) of the selected companies in this year’s Programme are woman-founded and almost half (46%) are based outside of London. For the first time, the cohort includes international representation, with startups from Berlin, Paris and Lagos – showcasing Tech Nation’s global reach.
Established in 2020 as part of the UK Government’s Net Zero by 2050 strategy, the Climate Programme has built an incredible network of over 140 leading climate tech companies including Circulor, Foodsteps (acquired by Registrar Corp), Xampla, Olio, Electron and Ox Delivers. Companies who have been part of the programme have scaled 2.5 times as fast as the industry average and alumni have raised over £1.5bn since graduating.
The programme’s steering committee includes leading names who have transitioned their focus to solving climate change, including Dhiraj Mukherjee, co-founder of Shazam; Marta Krupinska, fintech entrepreneur turned climate tech founder; Roee Goldberg, co-founder of OpenWeb; and Sarah Hunter, NED of ARIA.
