Starting in 2019 in Colombia, so far we received over 300 applications and supported the top 30. All to prepare them to pitch their ideas during the regional, national, latam and global finals. The global top 16 win direct access to the CLP CLimate-KIC Accelerator Program and or our own Latam Cleantech Champions Accelerator.
