The Climate Solutions Catalyst is an Undaunted research programme uncovering UK-based climate research with the power to deliver high impact and commercial potential.
Its inaugural cohort brings together three bold projects selected for their breakthrough potential to tackle the climate crisis. After three months of intensive support, these teams are ready to unveil their innovations publicly for the first time on 18 September at the University of Cambridge’s West Hub.
This is more than a showcase, it’s an opportunity to connect with brilliant minds across deep tech, academia, investment, and IP, spark new collaborations, and take part in shaping the future of climate innovation.
Join us to hear directly from the awardees, alongside leading voices from the world of climate science, innovation, business and policy.
