The journey from startup to scale-up is challenging, with only a small percentage succeeding: Statistics show that about 1 in 2 startups survive the first 5 years, and only 1 in 200 become scale-up companies.
ClimateTech firms face challenges in a dynamic environment with stakeholders, regulations, and technology. They must execute strategies while committed to climate goals, delivering innovation, scaling rapidly, and achieving emission reductions.
To overcome these challenges, they must execute complex business models, diversify revenue streams, integrate hardware and software effectively, secure funding, and adapt to market dynamics for impactful climate action.
Massive scaling of climate funding is crucial to support climate initiatives, accelerate clean technology, enhance resilience, invest in green infrastructure, and promote sustainability for a sustainable future. A traditional approach creating ‘just profitable’ companies is not enough as scale is what truly matters.
Time is critical, and there’s no room for error. To ensure success in addressing climate action, it is vital to design strategies and frameworks that facilitate thriving businesses. By design.
