About the Opportunity

The Urban Future Lab is searching for the boldest climatetech startups to compete for two $50,000 non-dilutive cash prizes in the 2024 Urban Future Prize Competition. This year features two distinct tracks:

1) Future Solutions Prize
For innovations addressing climate change mitigation through renewable energy, transportation, circular economy, smart grids, and other climate solutions.

2) Future Resilience Prize (New!)
Focused on climate adaptation and resilience solutions for vulnerable communities. Areas include insurance innovation, risk modeling, water scarcity, resilient infrastructure and more.

In addition to the substantial cash awards, the two grand prize winners will gain admission into the prestigious ACRE Incubator - New York's leading climatetech program. Memberships unlock access to expert advisors, mentors, investors, and a robust entrepreneurial community.

Competition finalists will pitch their ventures to a high-profile jury panel comprising esteemed climate investors like Nneka Kibuule (Aligned Climate Capital), Katie MacDonald (Tailwind), and Shawn Xu (Lowercarbon Capital).

With New York's thriving startup ecosystem, this is an unparalleled opportunity for climatetech entrepreneurs to accelerate their ventures while driving real impact. Don't miss the chance - apply today!
