Before projects get access to the Matchmaking, they are reviewed by an external Jury of experts according to the following criteria:
- contribution to climate protection or climate change adaptation within Austria
- investment readyness of the project / venture
- plausibility and quality of the application
- added value for the participating project / venture
Of course, it is not possible to predict which projects will be in the pool this year as the application phase is active. But in the following, you`ll find an overview of last year`s pool:
Stage: start-ups from every stage, with the majority of projects in the early stage or proof of traction phase
sector: projects from every sector were in the pool, with a majority in renewable energy / energy efficiency, climate change adaptation, circular economy and infrastructure
