The RFS Pitch Arena goes into the next round!

On March 1, our Startup Pitch Event will take place for the sixth time in Zurich. Five innovative ClimateTech startups will present their revolutionary ideas and try to convince the expert jury of their idea and their company with their pitches.

At the end of the event, a jury award and an audience award for the most innovative company will be presented. The event will be followed by a delicious aperitif.

This year’s participating startups will be announced on 1 January 2022!
