Participants in the online training course

HSF

Initiated by the EIT Climate-KIT, ClimateLaunchpad (CLP) is one of the world's largest cleantech business idea competitions which takes place in over 60 countries around the world. In Vietnam, CLP has been jointly organised by HSF and CCS since 2019, seeking to enhance technical knowledge of cleantech business and impact entrepreneurship among start-ups, establishing a network of experts and practitioners in sustainable business, and promoting sustainable business ecosystem in Vietnam.

From a pool of impressive applications, 20 start-ups made it to our intensive training course led by ClimateLaunchpad’s energetic and experienced trainer, Mr Ron Bloemers. Throughout the Boot Camps, Mr Bloemers, along with ClimateLaunchpad Vietnam’s national mentors, navigated the teams through key topics for sustainable entrepreneurship and cleantech start-ups, such as team management, market segmentation, beachhead market, customer value proposition, financials and key value drivers, climate impact, customer discovery and pitching skills.

Following the success of the training courses, a series of coaching sessions are provided by CLP Vietnam experts for each of the 20 Boot Camp teams, in which their business ideas and strategies were thoroughly analysed from different angles and viewpoints. The teams’ performance in the this phase is a significant criterion for the selection of 10 best teams for the National Final which will take place in September 2024.
