24 Startups Selected to Join ClimaTech Connect 2025

Published on August 1st, 2025

We’re excited to welcome the 24 startup teams selected for the 2025 edition of ClimaTech Connect, an EU-funded programme supporting early-stage digital ventures addressing climate challenges.

After a competitive Europe-wide call, these selected ventures stood out for their innovation, clarity of vision, and potential to create measurable climate impact. The selection reflects a broad diversity of founders, technologies, and geographical representation, with teams tackling issues ranging from clean energy and sustainable mobility to climate data and circular economy solutions.

These teams are now officially part of Stage 1 of the programme. Over the course of two months, they will engage in entrepreneurial training, develop climate-tech strategies, and receive one-on-one mentoring from experts in business, technology, and sustainability.

Next, a shortlist of top teams will move forward to Stage 2, a deeper mentoring phase. This will lead up to a live Demo Day in Valencia this autumn, where the most promising solutions will compete for grants totalling €80,000, aimed at accelerating product development and market readiness.

As the programme unfolds, we look forward to supporting this new generation of founders and contributing to the growth of Europe’s climate-tech ecosystem.

Meet the Teams

The 24 selected startups come from across the EU and Horizon Europe-associated countries, representing a wide spectrum of digital innovations tackling climate challenges: From carbon footprint tracking, AI-powered efficiency platforms, and smart mobility solutions, to data-driven approaches to energy transition and circular economy models.
