Cambridge Cleantech have been announced as a finalist for the Cambridge Independent Business Awards 2024, nominated for ‘The Award for Collaboration’, which is sponsored by AstraZeneca.
We work on many projects which involve collaboration, whether that’s showcasing incredible climate-tech startups through Cleantech Venture Day and the Climate Tech SuperCluster, connecting organisations to corporate buyers directly through our ‘Meet the Buyer’ opportunities, or by aiding Spanish startups through the Desafia Programme.
In collaboration with Barclays Eagle Labs and Carbon13, we also run the Climate Tech Club which gives startups and thought leaders the chance to present at a variety of Cambridge-based climate-tech venues.
Sylvie Russell, COO of Cambridge Cleantech, said: “Collaboration is an essential part of our work towards accelerating cleantech innovation. I’m excited to be a finalist in this category, as well as seeing other great companies nominated for a Business Award this year.”
There are five finalists for ‘The Award for Collaboration’ including ‘Cambridge 2030’, ‘Cambridge Cleantech’, ‘Coracle’, ‘Get Synergised’, and ‘Grand Discoveries, from Grand Arcade’.
The gala final will be held on 26th September 2024 at King's College Cambridge.
