Participating in our programme means connecting with a diverse, global network of entrepreneurs and experts in cleantech and triple impact business.

3. Positive Climate Impact: We don’t just accelerate companies; we accelerate climate solutions and triple impact business models to respond to today’s global challenges. It is the impact that an organisation creates, with the intention of mitigating climate change, generating adaptation and resilience actions to the climate crisis and contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

4. Intensive and Customised Program: We offer you an intensive programme tailored to your company’s stage of maturity and the challenges you and your team are facing. From foundation validation to global expansion, each phase is tailored to the overall needs of a company at this stage of maturity.

5. Strategies for team decisions and leadership: The GC Index, a decision-making tool that maximises the impact of each person towards the achievement of the company’s objectives. One of the biggest challenges at this stage is the creation of teams and the urgency of their high efficiency and performance. With the input of the language of the GC Index, you will learn and review the composition of the team and the strategies to strengthen leadership processes and stimulus to have high performance teams.

6. Demo Day Investment Opportunity: The closing of the programme is a unique opportunity: our exclusive Demo Day. In front of investors and strategic allies, you will present your company, generating visibility and opening doors to possible investments.
