Climate Action Ideas Competition
The Climate Action Ideas Competition is designed to provide students with early-stage ideas to compete for $5,000 in prizes!
More importantly, participating students will gain access to the LaunchPad program on their campus, to get the support on their entrepreneurship journey and skill-building.
This signature program supports LaunchPad’s goal in de-risking entrepreneurship, broadening accessibility, and diversifying engagement with a focus on recruiting underrepresented and under-resourced students to participate.
The competition is LIVE AT UCR!, hosted on the StartupTree platform.
The main topic is climate action, but participants can select any of the other tracks.
