The participants for this year’s Green Tech Challenge has finally been decided and twenty young Danish startups are now waiting eagerly to begin the two-week program. The challenge will kick off at the 31’th of October with the mission to make green business into good business.
During the 14 days of the program, the twenty startups will get the chance to introduce their concepts for investors. Throughout the weeks, the startups will receive coaching and guidance from Green Tech Challenge partners such as Microsoft, E.ON, Kemp & Kjær, Qvartz, Awapatent, PWC, and Kromann.
Green Tech Challenge was founded in 2015 with the goal of connecting green startups with capital and expertise. Last year’s challenge proved to be a massive success and all participants from last year are still alive and well today. The number of applicants has nearly doubled since last year and Green Tech Challenge is now expanding beyond the Danish borders.
