  • Ideal Setting: The city’s dynamic ecosystem serves as the perfect testing ground for developing sustainable solutions to the world’s most pressing climate challenges.

Competition Tracks

  • Climate Sector-Agnostic: The Future Solutions Prize welcomes startups from all climate sectors to showcase their innovative solutions.
  • Climate Adaptation and Resilience: The Future Resilience Prize focuses specifically on climate adaptation and resilience solutions, with a keen focus on their impact on vulnerable communities.

Benefits of Participation

  • Financial Support: Two non-dilutive prizes of $50,000 each will be awarded to the most promising startups, providing vital capital for further growth and development.
  • Incubator Membership: Winners will gain acceptance into New York City’s premier climate-tech incubator, offering tailored support and resources to accelerate their progress.
