About us

The Great Global Innovation Challenge (GGIC) is an innovative initiative designed to directly connect climate-focused startups with potential customers who are actively seeking sustainable solutions as well as potential investors and partners.

This competition, supported by the MIT Climate and Energy Prize (MIT CEP), aims not only to identify and accelerate promising startups but also to leverage AI tools to facilitate meaningful connections between these companies and customers, regardless of their competition outcome. The top four teams will present live during the ClimaTech event and receive various awards. 

We are committed to driving positive change in the climate tech industry by providing a stage for groundbreaking ideas and connecting solutions with a global network of customers. Join us in to make a lasting impact on the future of our planet.
