About
Join us to kick off the 2024 Climate Challenge!
Are you interested in climate change and want to give entrepreneurship a try? Want to develop your ideas and be in with a chance of winning a £1500 cash prize? The Climate Challenge is an early-stage climate entrepreneurship training programme and competition for postgrads and postdocs at the University of Cambridge.
At this Launch Event, find out more about the competition, socialise with fellow students and aspiring entrepreneurs and get inspired! The event will begin with a series of speakers in Lecture Theatre A of the Student Services Centre, including guest speaker Dr Shima Barakat, followed by networking over drinks and nibbles in the foyer.
Over the course of the Lent Term, come along to free weekly training sessions to learn about effective storytelling, voluntary carbon markets, intellectual property rights, pitching your ideas and more. Meet likeminded individuals and share ideas over pizza and pub socials! Participants will form teams of 2-3 to propose scalable solutions to climate challenges. Shortlisted teams will pitch their ideas to our expert panel of judges at the final, where the winning team will receive a £1500 cash prize and the two runner-up teams will receive a £750 cash prize.
