ClimateLaunchpad is the world’s largest ideas competition for sustainable entrepreneurship. INiTS is a cooperation partner of ClimateLaunchpad Austria, whose annual program concluded on August 14 with the grand national final. Eight teams curated by experts competed against each other in a pitching competition – this year online for the first time due to the COVID-19 measures.

The teams pitched their ideas from home in front of a jury consisting of five specialists who met at Talent Garden Vienna for evaluation. The final was streamed worldwide and can be watched under the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEOf3ut4JPs
