“Cleantech Venture Day was a great opportunity for Nanoplume. We connected with a global specialty chemicals company focused on advanced materials, which has since led to ongoing discussions, a potential joint development agreement, and engagement with their corporate venture arm. A very valuable outcome for us.”

Theresa Hoffmann
Co-founder & CEO, Nanoplume

More than just a map

This isn’t just a nice idea on a map. It’s already one of the world’s most powerful climate tech ecosystems.

What you’re looking at is a collection of some of the world’s most prolific climate tech clusters. What’s special is that they’re all reachable within four hours by train from London.

Within this region, you’ll find a critical mass of world-leading universities, ambitious climate investors, deep tech hubs, and some of Europe’s most forward-thinking cities: Cambridge, Paris, Cologne, Amsterdam, Antwerp, London, Eindhoven, Charleroi, Oxford. The list goes on.

We don’t believe the world needs another isolated innovation district or local hub. What it does need is a joined-up ecosystem that moves at the speed of the climate crisis.

An ecosystem where founders, researchers, investors, corporates, and governments collaborate across borders to scale solutions that work.

This is the ecosystem we’re building. We call it the Climate Tech SuperCluster.
