Startup & Ecosystem Events at the Estonia Pavilion
BRING YOUR CLIMATE INNOVATION CONVERSATION TO COP31
Estonia is known for turning bold ideas into scalable global solutions. A compact, digitally enabled country with a close-knit and outward-looking startup community, Estonia offers an environment where founders, investors, researchers, public institutions and support organisations can collaborate quickly. Its growing cleantech sector builds on technological expertise, strong networks and a shared ambition to accelerate sustainable economic development across energy, materials, mobility, circularity and beyond.
At COP31, the Estonia Pavilion will open its doors to startups and startup ecosystem actors from around the world. We invite proposals for engaging on-site events that explore how startups can be supported to develop, test, finance and scale solutions with positive climate impact. We welcome diverse formats and international collaboration, provided that the event is clearly connected to startup support and ecosystem development.
