#thoughtfortheday: As Milton barrels towards Florida, floods rage in eastern europe, while droughts and fires proliferate elsewhere, I can't help but think about the future of - food. I'll be at Slush in Helsinki in a few weeks' time, which is focusing very much on startups in the cleantech and eco-tech space. Of all the things we can focus our collective efforts on - fighting climate change + finding ways to cope with our increasingly volatile world really should be a top priority. Very much looking forward to seeing what the next batch of companies are working on.

Did you know the climate tech market size is expected to be worth $600 billion by 2030? Thrilled to attend the YES!Delft Students Climate Tech Case Day at Delft University of Technology, learned valuable insights from Caroline Langenberg (InnovationQuarter) & Wouter van den Haak (World Fund) on supporting & growing impactful environmental and climate tech startups. What are your thoughts on fostering climate tech innovation? #ClimateTech #Sustainability #TUDelft

As Energy & Climatetech is one of the tracks at TechChill, I’ll be out there this week, looking for founders ambitious to ramp up their activities. SFV is in search of just that. A few noteworthy speakers to look out for if you’re attending and are curious about cleantech in general: 📣 Julia Bialetska from S.Lab striking the stage with the topic of “Eco-innovations unwrapped”. A great person, a recognized founder hitting the heights. 📣 Andris K. Berzins from Change Ventures, Jarna Hyvönen from Volare Solutions and Janis Putrams from Aerones are discussing “The dilemma of commercializing deeptech”. It is never an easy task and never should be too easy either, right? 📣 Agate S. Freimane from Norrsken VC brings us insights on “Building a thriving climate economy”. A topic Norrsken is superb at and gets to the nuts and bolts of making a real impact. At side-events: 📣 Beamline Accelerator is hosting the “DeepTech Demo Day”! 📣 EIC dials in on details on “Funding your deeptech startup to scaling in the EU”!

If you know me, you’re aware that summer is always the high season for scouting startups 🙅♀️ 🏖️ We’ve officially kicked off the ClimateX Accelerator last week, meaning that the hectic selection ''season'' is finally over. Months of scouting and thoughtful curation went into selecting these teams, I can only be proud of us: To Florencia, who took as many calls as me to make my summer less hectic and to Darius for his wise advice and constant drive to make our program even better. Here are my key takeaways: 1️⃣ Handpicked Connections This year, we focused on quality over quantity, making direct connections at key events and bringing those startups to ours. This approach allowed us to engage with teams that are truly pushing the boundaries in climate tech. 2️⃣ Partnering with Ecosystem Leaders Long-standing partnerships helped us identify innovative teams and game-changing solutions. Our alumni acted as ambassadors, and our mentors were invaluable in helping us find the next gems. A huge thank you to Christoph Rohde Christoph Raethke Rita Katona Martin Valkov Mika Sagindyk Udi G. and many more! 3️⃣ Supporting Female Founders We made a concerted effort to boost female founder participation this year. By starting early conversations with female-led climate tech startups and planting the seed for future female founders, we were able to double the number of female founders in this new cohort. 🎁 Bonus Insight: Crossing Borders Sometimes it’s not just about talking to teams at your event—it’s about crossing borders and thinking outside of the box. One of our team relocated to Berlin just for the program. I wasn’t sure if they’d make it in time, but the magic of Europe made it possible. I’m excited to see how these teams grow and thrive in the coming months. As they integrate into our ecosystem and cohort, I’m confident they will continue to push boundaries and drive impactful change. Let’s get this started! 💪🏻
