- 🌳 Last Week in Climate #116
Hey friend,
📩 Here is your weekly digest of everything that happened in European climate(-tech) last week.
We cover last week’s:
💚 Community updates,
🌳 ClimateU inClimate.com updates,
🇪🇺 9 closed rounds,
🚀 Deal of the week,
🗓 Events & Meetups,
📰 News, and
💼 1,649 jobs by 563 employers.
👋 Important: If you read this on Gmail, you might not see the full email. I’d recommend reading it online instead.
💚 Community Updates
☕️ Tomorrow, at 13:00, we’ll host our second virtual Climate Coffee Break to welcome and connect with new members. Anyone can join to connect with other climate professionals in an informal setting.
New Members
85 new members joined ClimateU last week, including founders and teams at:
🇳🇱 Circularise
🇩🇪 ClimEtSan-OnTheGround
🇺🇸 Geld.Network
🇦🇺 GreenKPI
🇸🇪 Jord AB
🌳 ClimateU inClimate.com Updates
As of today, you can head to www.inclimate.com instead of ClimateU. 🥳
We'll only officially announce the new branding in September and are still finishing up lots of things until then, but we wanted to already switch to the new name and domain this week.
If you encounter any issues on the new website, please don't hesitate to reach out.
💡 Some users might have to set up a new password when logging in.
I hope you all like the new name. 💚
PS: We’re still facing a redirect problem from the old domain to the new domain, so ClimateU is currently down. Hopefully, we’ll get it fixed in the next few hours. Any 301 redirect and SEO experts here?
