Testimonials

“Going deep means going together. Climate tech will only scale when industries, investors, and innovators stop working in silos and start moving as one.”

Catalyst Financier

Bennet Barth

Managing Director RESPOND, BMW Foundation

“As a climate tech founder, I understand the science behind our innovation —but transforming it into a scalable business is a whole different challenge. The Climate Brick supports me with strategies to navigate the funding journey, build partnerships, and overcome the hurdles that come with scaling.”

Early Stage Tech Founder

Marco Bertone

Co-Founder & CEO, Syntetica

"We launched The Climate Brick as a bet: that a simple, founder-first framework could help unlock clarity in one of the most complex and critical sectors of our time. A year later, it’s become a tool that teams are actually using – and improving. That makes us really happy".

“The energy transition is a team sport. All need to contribute; start ups, financial investors, strategic investors, lenders and corporates. We need to play together!”

Corporate Investor

Enrique Gonzalez

Partner, Siemens Energy Ventures

“Frameworks like the Climate Brick are essential to scaling climate innovation across Europe. With a $2.5 trillion annual capital gap to reach net zero, the lack of transparency and standardization remains a key bottleneck. The 2025 edition makes the Climate Brick more accessible and adaptable, setting a clear standard to drive investment in green technologies.”
