The Sandbox Program is a free vertical program designed to meet the specific needs of early stage B2B Startups with a focus on Climate Impact.

how is the sandbox program structured?

Every year we run 4 editions of the Sandbox Program, accepting 8-10 startups for each batch.
A Technical Board of industry experts and professionals is responsible for evaluating your application, looking at how your solution addresses the climate impact of industrial supply chains and what is its potential at scale.

We are always accepting applications, if you are not selected for one edition, you can still apply for the next round.
