One-liner: a national climate-resilience challenge launched by Enisa, Startup Valencia and VDS — five challenges, one winner each, pitching to investors at VDS 2026 in València. The visibility companion to Enisa's Innovacion x Clima loans.
What a founder gets
- If selected (one solution per challenge): a slot at the Startups x Climate International Investment Forum inside VDS 2026, in front of investors, corporates and public administrations.
- Listing in the national Climate Tech directory (1,800+ organisations) — open to anyone, separately from the challenge.
Who it's for
Startups with solutions to one of five challenges:
- Environmental health and urban habitability (extreme heat);
- Forest fires — early detection and response;
- Energy and storage under climate stress;
- Adapted agriculture;
- Drought and the water cycle (including torrential-rain extremes).
How to engage
- Submit via the "Presenta tu solución" form on startupsporelclima.org (live on 2026-09-23; roughly a 7-minute form).
- ⚠️ No closing date is published on the site or in the launch coverage. Since winners pitch at VDS on 21–22 Oct, the window must close well before — treat it as closing imminently.
Key facts
- Pair it with the money: Enisa's Innovacion x Clima — participatory loans €25k–€1.5M, €300M envelope — is the financing line explicitly attached to this initiative.
- VDS 2026's NextTalent Challenge hackathon carries a climate-resilience challenge in the same initiative (talent, not startups).
- The Forum coincides with the second anniversary of the DANA — València was chosen as the stage for that reason.
