Previous years – Ventures for Impact 2022 & 2023

In April 2022, Deloitte organized the first pitch event. The purpose was to identify and select three early-stage start-ups that share our ambition of making an impact that matters for people, the planet or prosperity with the power of innovation.

With over 200+ nominations, we short-listed twelve startups. During the evening, they pitched their ideas and plans to our jury, representing some of the most influential corporates globally and in the Nordics. Together with our jury, we selected three winners, Aquammodate, PlacticFri, and Hack Your Closet.

Outcome
Since May, Deloitte has supported the startups by developing a tailored roadmap and providing them with relevant resources to enable them to develop their ideas and arrange for better and more sustainable solutions on the market.
