STATION F, CentraleSupélec & EDHEC will organize Climate Day on March 9
Join us on March 9 at STATION F to learn more on how to engage startups in the climate transition.
It’s time to take action! Take part in the Climate Day organized by 21st by CentraleSupélec, EDHEC Entrepreneurs and STATION F. This half-day event (in French) open to all will take place on March 9 from 2pm to 5pm.
On the menu? Feedbacks from committed ClimateTech or FoodTech entrepreneurs, advice from impact investment funds, and exclusive practical workshops. Everything to help you develop an action plan adapted to your startup.
“Of the 24 startups accelerated by the ‘21st by CentraleSupélec’ program, 14 address climate or biodiversity-related issues. Organizing a Climate Day at STATION F to raise community’s awareness of these issues seemed evident to us”, explains Anita de Voisins, Director of Entrepreneurship, CentraleSupélec.
“At EDHEC Entrepreneurs we strive to help every entrepreneur, every startup regardless of their sector, to address current environmental and societal issues. The Climate Day is part of our desire to provide them with the missing keys they need to implement responsible practices right from the beginning of their startup. How? By providing them with exclusive content adapted to their stage of maturity, through the experience and expertise of key players in the ecosystem.” explains Justine Soudier, Director of EDHEC Entrepreneurs.
"Today, being engaged in the climate transition is no more an option for startups. They have a key role to play in this worldwide challenge and they need to be supported for that! It’s also a duty for these companies that need to be attractive for talents as the employment market is very stretched. Climate Day will give them key takeaways to initiate this transition", says Marwan Elfitesse, Head of Startups Program & Business Services at STATION F.
