Approximately 70 people attended the event, including companies selected for the first and second Climate Tech programs, as well as investors, large corporations, and startup representatives.
The event began with a presentation of key achievements from the Gyeonggi Province Climate Tech Startup Incubation Project, which has been underway for the past year. The Gyeonggi Innovation Center shared its support results, focusing on objective metrics such as investment attraction volume, technological collaboration cases, and commercialization indicators. The center also presented the results of its contributions to the market entry and growth of climate tech companies.
Next, the presentations and awards ceremony were held to select outstanding climate tech companies in four categories: Net Zero, Global, Deep Tech, and Scaling. Participating companies, including Ripla, Fitin, Davar, and H Energy, presented their technological competitiveness and business performance, highlighting the marketability and global expansion potential of their climate tech technologies.
Additionally, a panel discussion and roundtable discussion with investors, large and medium-sized enterprises, and climate tech startups focused on the climate tech industry's mid- to long-term direction, investment strategies, and open innovation collaboration. Hoban Group and DB Capital presented potential business partnerships with startups through reverse pitching.
The latter half of the event featured a networking program based on prior demand, featuring one-on-one meetings between investors and startups. This hands-on approach was praised for expanding opportunities for practical collaboration among participating companies.
