Friendly competition is a part of every sport – it isn’t a grudge match every time you step into the ring. Sparring matches are an important opportunity for fighters to test their skills, build experience, and prepare themselves for the real fight.
For Round 8 of the Climate Ring, Swissnex and German Accelerator invite you to an evening of friendly competition amongst an international group of innovators working on global solutions to climate change. During the event, selected climatetech founders will take the stage to pitch their startups, including the participants in the Swiss-US startup exchange program Climate Collider, powered by Swissnex and Innosuisse, and German Accelerator’s U.S. Market Discovery Climate Tech program, a startup growth program run by Start2 Group and financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).
Climate Ring
12 rounds. 3 days.
1 fight for the planet.
From September 25 to 27, 2024, Swissnex presents the Climate Ring, a pop-up boxing arena for the fight of the century: the one for planet Earth. Join us in New York’s East Village for an eclectic mix of discussions, exhibitions, and performances featuring rising stars and heavyweights from science, innovation, and the arts. From renowned ecologist Thomas Crowther of ETH Zurich to New York nightlife impresaria Susanne Bartsch, the Climate Ring showcases fresh perspectives on our planetary moment from Switzerland, the US, and beyond.
