EARTH Alliance Connect

EARTH Alliance Connect is an international initiative aiming to accelerate climate and sustainability innovation through cross-border collaboration.

Designed for corporates seeking cutting-edge solutions and strategic innovation partnerships, the initiative offers a structured and efficient way to connect with high-potential startups and scaleups at the forefront of climate tech.

Representing four of the world’s leading climate innovation ecosystems, Finland, Israel, Singapore, and Sweden, these “small and smart” nations combine deep expertise, strong innovation infrastructure, and globally recognized leadership in sustainability and technology development.

What’s in it for corporates?

Through EARTH Alliance Connect, participating corporates gain access to

  • Emerging technologies from four leading innovation ecosystems
  • Climate-tech startup scouting based on your innovation priorities
  • Curated matchmaking sessions with selected startups and scaleups
  • Follow-up workshop to co-design pilot projects 

How does the process work?

The initiative consists of two stages:

  1. A curated digital matchmaking session on November 25 featuring selected climate-tech startups and scaleups aligned with participating corporates’ strategic interests.
  2. A follow-up workshop where, together with an Ignite Nordic coach, corporates will focus on co-designing pilot projects with selected startups from the matchmaking sessions. The workshops will take place between February and April 2027.

Which sectors are covered?

The initiative focuses on solutions within advanced materials, agriculture, construction, energy, food, forestry, industry, mobility, recycling, sustainability and more.
