Initiative details

Climate tech is a field expected to produce decacorn and unicorn startups. Given that many climate tech businesses operate on a global scale and are influenced by geopolitical factors, it is crucial for entrepreneurs in this sector to conduct thorough research on markets and technologies and develop comprehensive strategies from the outset. In response to this need, PEP launched the “PEP for Climate Tech Startup Studio” to support entrepreneurs aiming to establish decacorn or unicorn companies in the climate tech domain. This program involves conducting market and technology research to identify promising business areas for large-scale startups. We will then publicly invite entrepreneurs interested in these fields and provide regular sessions to discuss their business. The PEP EIR course is a new addition to our startup studio program. It offers entrepreneurs monthly funding and regular sessions with venture capitalists through our network, providing an optimal environment for idea generation and strategy refinement.
