🌳 Help us Rebrand ClimatEU
We built ClimatEU to bring everyone across the European climate-tech ecosystem together - companies, talents, and investors. Things have been growing so quickly, so we want to take it up a notch and truly create a movement across Europe - one that excites people to dedicate their careers and skills to fighting climate change.
To do so, we’re rebranding ClimatEU with the help of the amazing team over at Brighter Future.
We want to find a new name for this movement and are looking for some inspiration from the community. If you have a second to spare - what are the words, aspirations, phrases, or feelings that you associate with ClimatEU, the climate-tech sector, or simply with this weekly newsletter?
📩 If you have any ideas, suggestions, or thoughts - no matter how silly they might sound - please send them to us by replying to this e-mail or by writing us at team@climateu.earth. We will go through every single one! 🌳
