ClimateLaunchpad (CLP) is the world's largest competition for early-stage green business ideas, launched in 2014. The program supports the development of innovative solutions to combat climate change and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable economy.

In Austria, CLP is run by Thinkubator.earth, an interdisciplinary think tank founded by two WU alumni. STaR has closely collaborated with the Thinkubator team since its founding—including support for the 2024 CLP—and we are excited to be involved again this year.

The finalist teams are now in the coaching phase, each receiving guidance to further refine their business models and pitching skills.

Whether you're a WU student, alum, staff member, or simply someone living in Vienna with an interest in sustainability solutions, we invite you to join the National Final Pitching Event!

• When? June 17, starting 6 PM
