Johannes from SoLaGA

“The Impact Academy Climate was a wonderful experience for us. After receiving the first place vote, we benefitted from our membership at Impact Hub Berlin where we received coaching from BCG. As of now, we are part of the Climate-KIC Greenhouse Programme, and thanks to the funding and support we were able to take the first professional steps in developing our idea. The Impact Academy Climate allowed us to become part of two very strong networks that are very helpful in furthering the progress of our project.“
