Why are we here?

It is time to find, test and support new solutions for the climate. To do this, we need to reach and mobilize many more people than before. This is where Spotlight programme participants come in. Each year Clima Now is organizing a Spotlight event where a few selected projects can pitch their idea and in the end, three of them will get financial support from the foundation. This year it’s all about “Reducing Your FOODprint”.

Clima Now Spotlight Horizon Program

The support however, doesn’t stop after the Pitch Night. All projects who made it to the “Wall of Fame” during the Clima Now Spotlight Award, have the opportunity to join the Horizon Support program that we created together with Clima Now and our partner the One Planet Lab (an initiative by WWF). This is a dedicated support program to help the teams realize their project over the course of 3 months.

During 2 bootcamps, they will learn how to further develop their project.
