The winners also include 2 portfolio companies from Invesdor, the impact investment platform with which we work closely.
Diverse solutions
The election is an initiative of Change Inc., MT/Sprout, and Amsterdam Standard. The winning companies were announced during CTS2024, the Climate Tech Summit Benelux in Amsterdam. The 100 winning companies offer a wide range of technological solutions that contribute to a sustainable economy. Jury chairman Jeroen Hazewinkel: ‘In its selection, the jury emphasized companies with a clear proposition that is also concrete enough to make a difference today.’
