New York's forward-thinking state, thriving tech sector, & massive market, make it one of the top startup climate tech economies in the world. Join us in-person on October 12, 2023 at Dock72 to see the finalists pitch, hear from industry experts, & congratulate this year's winners!

This year, we received 224 applications from market-ready startups innovating across climate finance, buildings, circular economy, transportation, electricity, & manufacturing. We narrowed this very competitive application pool down to 8 incredible finalists! Finalists will pitch during the Urban Future Summit & two winners will receive $50,000 cash prizes & acceptance into ACRE, New York City's longest running climatetech startup incubator.
