4WARD’s connections within ClimateTech have been super helpful over the past few months and helped us tremendously in closing our first financing round!

Co-Founder & CEO, Neocarbon

Having so many talented startups clustered here has been brilliant. I’ve met some amazing startups and connected them with some of our corporate partners.

Hendrik Dik

Climate Lead, MassChallenge Switzerland

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!
