Challenge 1
Join Deutsche Börse in shaping the financial sector's role in sustainability! We are seeking groundbreaking ideas to transform how capital markets address environmental challenges. Our focus is on developing an exchange for circular commodities, crafting innovative capital market solutions to hedge climate risks, and decoupling economic growth from negative environmental impact.
Challenge 2
Helaba is on a mission to accelerate the transition to a greener economy by fostering sustainable building practices and green financial solutions. We are calling on innovators to develop PropTech solutions that reduce the carbon footprint of construction and FinTech tools that embed ESG principles across the financial sector. Join us to co-create a more sustainable future for both the financial and real estate industries.
Challenge 3
Signal Iduna invites you to transform the insurance industry's approach to ESG integration. We are looking for innovative digital tools that help insurers quantify their SME and private customer’s carbon emissions and enhance ESG reporting for both parties. In addition, we seek comprehensive consulting concepts that empower businesses to achieve net-zero goals and improve their emission profiles. Be a part of this challenge and lead the way to a sustainable future in insurance.
