Climate Solutions Competition
Start-up, take part in the first Climate Solutions Competition
by SUEZ and H7, to speed up your project and boost the impact
of your solution to climate change.
SUEZ and H7 launch the Climate Solutions Competition
In the coming years, the Lyon metropolitan area and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region will be particularly exposed to climate change.
Today, we need to act to limit the effects and create new solutions for mitigation and adaptation.
It's against this backdrop that SUEZ & H7 are launching the Climate Solutions Competition, to identify, support and reward innovative solutions that are working to make the region more resilient.

H7, the Lyon metropolitan area's responsible gas pedal and digital totem, supports start-ups in their growth and impact. To carry out this mission, H7 relies on three pillars: the support programs, operated by H7 and built alongside its partners; the community, made up of entrepreneurs, major corporations, talents, investment funds and partner schools; and the living space, a place for meeting and sharing, where everyone can create, learn and explore new perspectives.
They talk about it better than we do
The support offered by SUEZ & H7 was a great opportunity for Feedbac, as it allowed us to connect with key players in the region to accelerate our project.
H7 is a place where everything is possible. At the end of the mentoring program, I had a number of very fruitful encounters, particularly with seasoned entrepreneurs. The coaching enabled me to clarify our business model and draw up a strategic roadmap for the project.
The support we received from SUEZ & H7 gave us a more global view of the sector. Above all, I remember the excellent spirit of promotion with the start-ups, meetings within the ecosystem and the excellent support provided by our start-up manager.
Joining H7 was one of the best decisions AMA ever made. Thanks to the ecosystem, we were able to forge key partnerships for the company's development, and ensure real visibility during the launch phase.
Very quickly, we were able to create strong synergies with the dense ecosystem of local foodtech start-ups. H7's many strategic partnerships with private and public players have enabled us to strengthen our foothold in the Lyon area, both in terms of brand awareness and business development.
