Cambridge Cleantech Venture Day took place last week, with three Cambridge start-ups in the mix – Camfridge, Archipelago Technology and Faradair Aerospace

The trailblazing event has been an annual highlight for the cleantech community since it started in 2006. Over the last decade and a half, more than 275 companies have pitched at Cleantech Venture Days and more than €650million has been invested as a result of the events.

The event included a pitching session, which involved innovative cleantech companies presenting to experienced fund managers, business angels and corporate investors.

Companies that have previously pitched include Airex, Cheeky Panda, Echion Technology, Oxwash, Sunswap and Zedify.

This year, there were 24 investment-ready cleantech start-ups pitching at the online event.

On day one (May 18) – they participated in an investors-only session and attended a networking event in London.

Day two (May 19) saw speakers followed by the pitches.

The three Cambridge start-ups among the 24 presentations at the event have emerged from very different markets.
