4WARD's global Network

Together we move the world forward!

Humanity has the tech, talent and capital to combat climate change. But not if it takes 20 years for collaborations and mass projects to start.

Yet startups, corporates, policymakers and researchers rarely meet or collaborate, even if they are pursuing similar goals.

4WARD connect DOERs via the world's largest global climate platform to drive collaboration & impact at scale while helping advance their goals.

"As someone new to the industry it has been nice to have someplace to plug into that immediately gave me exposure to many like-minded people with expertise across industry. It’s like a mini, perpetual climate conference in my pocket."

Matt Trudeau

CEO of Nori

"Having so many talented startups clustered here has been brilliant. I’ve met some amazing startups that I might not have otherwise met, and connected them with some of our corporate partners as well."

Hendrik Dik

Climate Lead of MassChallenge Swiss

4WARD’s global network is invaluable. I joined a sector call on decarbonising the built world and met people all over the world tackling it in different ways. During the call, I met an expert from Canada while being in Switzerland! We’ve since had multiple calls and he’s likely to become a board member of my company. This is how a global climate networking should work!
