Carbon Zero Challenge x IIT Madras

ClimateFundr is thrilled to have made our presence felt at the Carbon Zero Challenge grand showcase held at IIT Madras. The 4th edition of this prestigious event brought together 25 cutting-edge climate-tech innovations, each with the potential to disrupt industries and drive lasting environmental change.

With a diverse group of founders—from professors and research scientists to students—the depth of research and development was remarkable. Most of the innovations presented were either already patented or in the process of being patented, positioning this cohort of startups for tremendous opportunities in commercialization.

The range of projects covered diverse sectors, including waste management, circular economy solutions, clean energy, and sustainable agriculture technologies. These innovative ideas are primed to address global environmental challenges while creating new market opportunities.

Through ClimateFundr's support, these startups were able to share their stories, showcase their business plans, and communicate the profound impact their solutions could have on both the environment and local communities.

However, with big dreams and limited resources, the need for ClimateFundr's role became abundantly clear. How could these passionate, driven innovators gain access to the funding they needed to launch their climate-positive startups?
