DRIVING ENERGY TRANSITION, SECURITY AND DECARBONISATION

UNCOVERING A NEW WAVE OF ENERGY INNOVATORS

The growing impact of climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions has been a dominant cause for concern around the world, underscoring the crucial role of innovation and climate-centric technologies in accelerating a decarbonised future. As the energy transition begins to take shape, start-ups are emerging as pivotal catalysts, delivering technological innovations that hold the key to achieving a low carbon future and combatting climate change.

The EGYPES 2024 CLIMATECH Challenge serves as a global platform for start-ups to pitch their technological solutions and business models in front of a panel of influential judging committee, spotlighting pioneering start-ups with cutting-edge solutions to expedite the energy transition and amplify the role of undiscovered energy innovators in advancing global net-zero targets.

With a rich programme of keynote speeches, motivational talks and panel discussions, the CLIMATECH Challenge will gather global energy industry visionaries, investors, change-makers, and emerging start-ups to showcase the critical innovations and groundbreaking climate technologies that are creating value and offering innovative solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The CLIMATECH Challenge is open to start-ups worldwide serving the energy transition with technologies that aim to address climate change and support the shift to clean and sustainable energy sources, including but not limited to CCUS, hydrogen, circular economy, energy storage and energy efficiency.
