Ecosummit London’s third edition is just around the corner. After two previous editions in London, six in Berlin and one in Düsseldorf, Ecosummit has become one of the leading events for green economy and clean technology startups to expand their operations and reach the next level.

The event (which runs from 6 – 7 October) provides a platform for up-and-coming startups to pitch their business model to potential investors for a chance to obtain funding or insight into best practice next steps.

Beyond pitches, Ecosummit is also a hub for networking: 55 speakers (including 31 startups) from areas such as investment, clean technology, entrepreneurship and more will lead pitch sessions at the London edition alongside discussions on all facets of the green economy.

The event will take place at The Crystal, Siemens’ London HQ at Royal Victoria Dock, an energy-efficient, sustainable venue that houses a permanent exhibition about the future direction of urban spaces alongside a select programme of green events.

The Ecosummit Award will also feature this year, offering a financial boost to six startups across two categories: Early Stage Startup and Late Stage Startup. Ecosummit will return to Berlin in April next year before travelling to Amsterdam in July 2016.

Find out more about Ecsummit on their website or get a taste of past editions by checking out the videos on the Ecosummit TV Youtube channel.
