The climate crisis won't be solved by awareness alone, it demands practical, scalable solutions deployed in the real world at unprecedented speed. Every year, thousands of breakthrough climate technologies stall between the lab and the market. Not because the science fails, but because the funding, visibility, and connections do. That gap is the single greatest threat to climate progress. And it's exactly what we were built to close.
Climate Solutions Prize accelerates the world's most promising climate innovation by arming researchers and startups with what the ecosystem too often withholds: capital at the moment it matters most, a global stage in front of the investors and policymakers who change trajectories, and a network that doesn't vanish after the ceremony. Our winners don't just win prizes, they go on to unlock follow-on funding and deploy solutions globally.
We bridge the gap between philanthropic capital and commercial climate deployment, and we do it with a machine, not a moment. Competitive prizes identify the strongest climate technologies. Our annual Climate Solutions Festival puts them in front of the investors, industry leaders, and decision-makers who turn prototypes into products. And we stay in it, tracking progress, brokering introductions, and amplifying every winner's story until the solution has reached the world. Every dollar we deploy is engineered to multiply.
Since 2020, Climate Solutions Prize has deployed $12M+ in awards and helped our winners unlock $111M+ in follow-on funding — a 9:1 leverage ratio that proves every prize dollar generates exponential returns. We've backed 1,436 climate innovators across 20 countries, and the trajectory is accelerating. These aren't projections. This is an auditable track record — and it's just the beginning. (Impact varies by project and pathway; CSP supports acceleration, connections, and visibility that help innovators progress.)
