The Swiss final of ClimateLaunchpad 2019, a competition organized by Climate KIC, took place on Friday September 6^th 2019 in Basel. The Enerdrape took first place in the competition with the modular geo-thermal panel solution. Margaux Peltier was able to convince the Swiss jury of the innovation and impact of Enerdrape, and it is in the same format that she will have to convince the jury in the international competition, which will be held in Amsterdam on the 14th and 15th of November.

This year, 8 teams were competing at the Swiss National Final. Each team had 5 minutes to pitch their green business idea with precisely nine slides to the national jury.

ClimateLaunchpad is the largest international competition for sustainable start-ups. The competition assists in boosting innovative ideas that have a positive impact on the environment and also accompanies them in their entrepreneurial development. This year the competition beat its records with 2500 projects having been submitted from over 50 countries!

We are thrilled to announce that Enerdrape project is selected for the Swiss final of this year Climate Launchpad. This Green business idea competition promotes innovation and start ups willing to fix climate change. During a two days challenging and inspiring Bootcamp we worked hard on our business case and pitch decks. National finals will be on September 6th, 2019.
