Description

The SET Award opened on 7 October 2026 and covers five categories of energy and climate innovation. Selected finalists gain visibility with investors and attend activities in Berlin. The prize applies to category winners rather than to every applicant or finalist. Show how the solution contributes to energy transition or climate action within the chosen category. The distinction between applicant, finalist and category winner matters for understanding the benefits. Travel support is governed by the finalist conditions, while the cash prize is reserved for winners. Eligibility: Startups developing innovations for the energy and climate transition. Funding: EUR 10,000 without equity per category winner; Berlin travel and accommodation for finalists under programme conditions. Application: Identify the appropriate category and present the energy or climate innovation. Distinguish finalist selection from category prizes and check the conditions for travel support. Schedule: 30 November 2026; open since 7 October
