Khoch3 KlimaKarten wins the ZEBRA Accelerator at Startup Village Jülich
Demo Day victory at Brainergy Park Jülich for the Cologne-based climate adaptation startup
Khoch3 KlimaKarten has won the Demo Day of the ZEBRA Accelerator. The program by Startup Village Jülich at Brainergy Park supports founding teams from the Rhenish mining region on their way to market-ready, sustainable business models.
The jury was convinced by the approach of radically simplifying municipal climate adaptation: KomAdapt bundles risk analysis, measure planning and funding-program matching into one tool that gives even small administrations professional decision-making foundations.
Ahead of Demo Day, the team completed several months of workshops on business model, impact logic and sales, plus sparring sessions with mentors from industry and research. The prize includes prize money, further support and access to the Startup Village Jülich network, where Khoch3 KlimaKarten remains active.
