At KIK (Klímainnovációs Közösség) we are passionate about connecting climate innovators from different fields and committed to build a strong climate innovation community in Hungary. Through our startup programs, we help idea owners to transform their greentech ideas into climate-positive businesses. Since 2013 we have supported more than 200 startups, provided more than 1200 mentoring hours and distributed more than €800k among the best Hungarian greentech startups.
In the framework of the startup programs we work with dozens of innovators who take actions and can make an impact towards a low-carbon economy. We financially and professionally support startups from the very early stage (idea phase) to more mature who are ready for external investment and market-entry. The programs focus on climate change in general, food industry, plastic challenges and sustainable green buildings.
We gained great experience in launching and delivering new greentech startup programs and we have already cooperated with several companies who supported us to successfully deliver the programs. We believe that by helping greentech startups entering the market we can significantly mitigate climate change. We are continuously looking for new partners to be part of the change.
