Naturetech is a crucial enabler to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss, while also advancing global climate, nature, and sustainability objectives.
With over 50% of the global GDP tied to nature, investment is starting to flow into tech that powers nature-based solutions for the climate crisis. And nature-tech startups are on the rise.
So we launched a global search to uncover new talents and fresh ideas to put nature centre stage.
Next these Founder will pitch their solution in the NatureTech Challenge on stage at the HackSummit, where the winner will be crowned.
