Additionally, the startups will receive media exposure and the opportunity to be part of an international community within the field. The program aims to equip these startups with the necessary skills and resources to turn their innovative ideas into successful businesses.
The goal of the Romania ClimAccelerator is to drive sustainable solutions and support startups that are committed to making a positive environmental impact.
