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 CLP—and we are excited to be involved again this year.

The three winning teams (out of nine highly competitive and innovative pitches) of this year's National Finals were announced at KURIER’s Speak Out Festival on June 17 are: Minimist, Ecomycel, and Troponaut.
