COP26(国連気候変動枠組条約第26回締約国会議)が開催されているイギリスのグラスゴー。その関連イベントとして、世界中のクリーンエネルギー関係のベンチャー企業が3分間のピッチでバトルを繰り広げる、The Clean Energy Start-up Pitch Battleが開催されています。

バトルでは、1位がMineral Carbonation Int’l (Australia)、2位がPJP Eye (Japan)だったようです。「化石賞」の2位の日本と3位のオーストラリアが、クリーンエネルギーのベンチャー企業のコンペで2位と1位を受賞したことはすごく喜ばしいことです。

日本のメディアでは、「化石賞」なるネガティブな賞の報道はありましたが、The Clean Energy Start-up Pitch Battleのようなポジティブなイベントの紹介は見当たりません。ぜひ全国放送とか新聞でこの前向きなイベントを大々的に取り上げてもらいたいと思います。

ファイナルリスト10社に残った企業は以下の通りです。3分間のピッチ、世界のベンチャー企業のピッチを見るだけでも、10社、30分間で、英語と工学そしてビジネスの勉強になると思います。

1. Brayfoil Technologies (South Africa) – Wind turbine blades. We are building the future of wind turbine blades – biomimicry-inspired morphing structures that change shape like bird’s wings to increase outputs and reliability, while enabling the next generation of larger turbines.
