Venture Leaders Cleantech 2023 convene to kick-off Munich roadshow

In October, the ten Venture Leaders Cleantech 2023 will represent Switzerland and pitch their solutions in Munich, Germany. During their weeklong roadshow, the entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to connect with investors, professionals, and key figures within the industry to strengthen their network and advance their global growth. In anticipation of this exciting journey, the founders met in Schlieren to introduce both themselves and their startups through a pitch session that spotlighted their pioneering innovations.

During the kick-off event held at the Startup Space in Schlieren on August 17th, the ten Venture Leaders Cleantech 2023 had the opportunity to learn about each other's innovative ideas, share insights about their entrepreneurial paths up to that point, and present their cleantech solutions. Audience members then voted for the team captain and selected Nicolas Weber, CEO of Voltiris, through a voting process. "I'm truly honoured to lead this exceptional team and showcase our Cleantech potential. Eagerly anticipating the Munich roadshow to engage and learn from fellow innovators!", said Nicolas.
