This will be followed by networking amongst venture and angel investors, sustainability thought leaders and founders. The Demo Day and the start-up's pitches are the culmination of a bespoke 10-week equity-free programme, supported by EIT Climate-KIC and Growth Studio, in which founders have navigated the challenges of starting and scaling a sustainable business and benefited from expert-led workshops, specialised mentorship, a tailored curriculum and much more.

PAINT ZERO is innovative concentrated decor paint, that mixed with tap water delivers a colour-rich full strength interior paint in 90 seconds. MYOM (Make Your Own Milk) - clean, ambient oat milk premix sold in small recyclable pouches with no water added at the factory and without any compromise to taste, price, or nutrition. ASAN - world’s easiest menstrual cup to insert and remove, aiming at solving two problems: period poverty and tampon waste.
