Join Undaunted to celebrate Demo Day – our flagship event! Imperial’s climate innovation community will come together to celebrate the seventh cohort of cleantech, fintech, deeptech startups coming to the end of their time on our unique accelerator programme, The Greenhouse. The founders will pour what they’ve learnt over the past 12 months into impressive pitches to investors on the historic stage at The Royal Institution.
If you’re an investor or supporter of climate innovation, it’s a fantastic opportunity to hear from passionate early-stage founders who are on a mission to make the future more sustainable and equitable, and to learn about exciting ideas and technologies at the forefront of tackling climate change.
We’ll be announcing the theme and schedule for the day soon, as well as our expert speakers who’ll provide insights into the latest trends in climate innovation and investment. The schedule will also provide plenty of time to network and chat over drinks and nibbles.
