Creating Sustainability ideas”

For the first time in history, the majority of people live in cities, and the urban population continues to grow. This has created a great need for more efficient, sustainable, and smart city solutions.un_sustainability-goals

The CleanTech Challenge is at the forefront of the development of clean, sustainable and affordable solutions applied to sustainable and smart cities. In many cases the cutting-edge solutions are developed within small or medium-sized enterprise, others by individuals and visionaries and others yet by sustainability enthusiasts. These groups of people are invited to participate in one of regions most renown sustainability innovation competitions

The goal is to discover solutions that can make our society a better place to live, and at the same time help reaching the UN 17 Sustainability Goals. We believe that Innovative sustainability solutions, technologies, services as well as innovative thinking are the main ingredients to reach these goals!
