The Ark and CleantechAlps are looking for start-ups for smart energy utilisation
CleantechAlps and The Ark Foundation are organising a pitch competition for start-ups in the field of intelligent energy use at the Smart Energy Events. Interested parties can apply until 7 June. Three prizes of CHF 5000 each are on offer.
CleantechAlps, the cluster of cleantech companies in Western Switzerland, and The Ark, a foundation for innovation in Valais, are organising the second pitch contest for smart energy start-ups. The competition will take place on 30 August as part of the Smart Energy Events on the Energypolis Campus in Sion, the organisers announced in a press release. Interested start-ups have until 7 June to apply online to take part.
We are looking for start-ups that were founded after 2014 and are active in the energy sector. A jury is responsible for pre-selecting the young companies that will ultimately take part in the competition. At the pitch contest itself, the start-ups compete for the best idea, the best short presentation and the audience award. All three awards come with prize money of CHF 5,000 each. In addition, the competition offers participants “a unique opportunity to present their company in the best possible light and meet important players in the industry”, write the organisers.
