Cambridge Climate Challenge training: Pitching and storytelling workshop

Facilitator: Viola Jordan, Accelerator Programmes Director at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL)

Viola Jordan will articulate your purpose and impact, moving beyond technical metrics to create compelling narratives that resonates with investors and your potential customers. 

This year's Climate Challenge competition has two streams, with final prizes of £5,000. Attend training sessions to learn how to pitch a solution, and build on your proposals with fellow postgrads and postdocs.

Enjoy Aromi for the "Pitching and storytelling workshop" on Wednesday 18th March (5:30pm to 6:30pm), and join the WhatsApp group or mailing list to stay updated.

The Cambridge Climate Challenge empowers postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers to take their first steps in climate entrepreneurship, or to progress early-stage ventures toward real-world impact.

The Cambridge Climate Challenge is run by Cambridge Zero in partnership with Carbon13, Cambridge Enterprise, the Maxwell Centre, Energy IRC, King’s Entrepreneurship Lab, and CISL Canopy.

Viola Jordan's biography
The basis of Viola Jordan's work is to leverage existing resources (including CISL’s global network of 30,000 professionals) to support and grow a tech founder and CEO community and eco-system. These supports include but are not limited to designing accelerator programmes, creating thought leadership pieces, launching and analysing surveys and hosting formal and informal events both virtually and in person. 

Viola also acts as an advisor and mentor for a few Accelerators to support founders and CEOs by introducing them to relevant networks such as mentors, investors or potential partners and buyers.
