Berlin, November 28th, 2022 – The European Commission has awarded the Berlin-based climate tech startup The Climate Choice, together with Dropslab, Eturnity and PoINT, the “Best Digital Solution” prize of the Get Digital: Go Green & Be Resilient initiative. The Climate Choice is being recognized for the development of its Climate Intelligence Platform, which enables companies to streamline, manage and report climate-related business data. The software platform helps companies and their suppliers to collaborate on decarbonization by gaining insights, discovering best practices and fulfilling climate disclosure requirements. According to the award, The Climate Choice’s solution demonstrates “high-impact potential to the greening and digitalisation of European industry”.
