More than 100 climate tech startups are all set to showcase innovative solutions that can contribute to a low-carbon future at COP28 UAE’s Start-Up Village
Operating in diverse sectors such as sustainable transport and agriculture, solar energy, and several others, over 100 climate tech startups are offering innovative solutions that can contribute to a low-carbon future.
Furthermore, these Climate technologies could at least double their contribution to global growth while removing up to 25 billion tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
The participation of these startups demonstrates the wide range of solutions being explored and positions COP28 as a key platform for advancing sustainable technologies. The COP28 Presidency emphasises the important role that the private sector and technology can play in delivering climate action on the required scale.
Recognising the importance of breakthrough technologies to achieve deeper decarbonisation, the COP28 Presidency has highlighted that research and development are urgently required to reduce costs for existing and emerging technologies.
To further the involvement of the private sector startups, COP28 is hosting a dedicated Technology and Innovation Hub.
This platform provides the private sector with an invaluable opportunity to share best practices and showcase their contributions to addressing the climate crisis.
Some of the startups that will be participating and displaying the innovative products, specifically climate change technology at their kiosk will include Mazi Mobility, a Kenyan-based mobility company that will showcase the transformative potential of e-mobility solutions for reducing emissions and foster sustainable living;
SolarSpace, an Arizona-based startup, will present its advanced solar energy technology.
The Startup Village is in the Green Zone and is open to the public from 3rd to 12th December. The Green Zone is the central hub for action and welcomes all attendees.
It is open to the public, private sectors, media, youth, NGOs, as well as delegates and guests of the UNFCCC-managed Blue Zone for two weeks. Entry to the Green Zone from 1st to 3rd December is by invitation only.
