GreenTech Capital Forum

The GreenTech Capital Forum is an exclusive investment platform that specifically connects investment-ready startups with specialized investors from across Europe. The focus is on scalable solutions for the circular economy, net-zero, and sustainable transformation in the energy, construction, and industrial tech sectors.

A structured matching process ensures that startups and investors are precisely matched in advance based on specific criteria—development stage, capital requirements, and investment focus. The result: efficient one-on-one meetings with genuine relevance and real follow-up potential, rather than random networking.

The Forum brings selected startups from pre-seed to series A together with venture capital funds, impact investors, business angels, family offices, and strategic partners. Pitch sessions, curated meetings, and targeted networking formats create the framework for intensive exchange and lasting connections within the European GreenTech ecosystem.

A special highlight: the “Make It Matter” AwardWhich honors the three most impactful GreenTech startups with a total of €33,500. The event will take place on September 24, 2026, at the Lokhalle in Freiburg—with around 250 carefully selected participants. An exclusive setting for innovation that matters. ‍
