Are you one of the top climate innovators?

Help solve the problem of wasted energy!

We reward ideas that help reduce waste of energy in households. The focus is on direct feedback on energy use of consumers to help them reduce energy consumption. Our quest is twofold: we look for innovative products or services which additionally make energy usage transparent to consumers. We also welcome ideas that put their focus on (innovative) feedback on energy consumption in households.

The Open Innovation Slam is a crowd-sourced online competition and a mentor- driven offline accelerator (see programme Venture Weekend) organised by Climate-KIC.

Your gain: a workplace and up to € 95.000 € in form of a grant. More information.
