Climathon harnesses the power, innovation and imagination of citizens in driving towards the zero emissions goal. It offers a clear pathway to climate action, and the opportunity for companies, cities, entrepreneurs and citizens to co-create ideas to tackle local climate challenges. The Climathon is held every year in over 150 cities worldwide. At the core is a powerful 24h hackathon followed by some opportunities supporting the implementation of the created solutions. The aim is to bring innovators together to provide tangible solutions for climate change challenges.
In addition to supporting new ideas. this year’s program invites existing startups and companies to use the 24 hours of Climathon to collaborate and adapt their innovative climate solutions to the challenges of different partners (e.g. the City of Zürich). The partners will share tangible climate challenges and support the entrepreneurs during the Climathon to develop concrete joint projects for potential Proofs of Concepts!
