The Startup 4 Climate Challenge is now open - compete for SEK 2 million!

Something cool we wanted to share with you…

The Startup 4 Climate Challenge is open again – and we think some of you might want to jump on this. It’s one of Europe’s biggest challenges for startups working on climate-positive solutions, and there’s SEK 2 million in prize money on the table.

If you’re building something that could help accelerate the energy transition or reduce environmental impact, this is a great opportunity. Two winners will share the prize, and all eight finalists get a cash prize and some solid visibility.
You also get access to coaching from a jury member of your choice and a year’s membership at the innovation hub THINGS in Stockholm.

📅 Final pitch + awards: November 13, 2025

⏳ Apply by: August 24

It’s run by Ellevio and GodEl, and this is their sixth year doing it. Last year, Paula Runsten, CEO and co-founder of Rebaba, took home SEK 1 million – she’s sharing her best pitch tips on the site too.
