The NatureTech Challenge is a global tournament to showcase the power of nature-based solutions to restore our planet’s biodiversity. With the help of a jury, we will scour the globe for talent and select 10 Founders to pitch in front of top industry investors live at the HackSummit.
The Final takes place at the HackSummit in Lausanne, Switzerland on 13-14th June.
To apply, you must meet the following criteria:
10 startups will be selected to pitch.
Startup applications to pitch are open until 30th May. The final batch of selected startups will be announced on 3rd June.
Yes, all finalists will receive 2x complimentary free passes. One for them and one for a colleague. Finalists should be fully ready to cover their cost (hotel + travel) for the event.
And if you've already bought your pass, of course we will offer you a full refund.
We’ve curated a panel of active investors across NatureTech to support with the selection of startups. Check out the Jury above.
