The Climate Launchpad global Grand Final, the world's largest clean-tech business ideas competition, with shortlisted finalists from 45 different countries competing, was hosted for the first time ever in Scotland by the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation. McEwan Hall was the majestic venue chosen for this important occasion.

Thanks to the Crover team and the fantastic support from everyone around us, it also became Scotland's first time to have a team making it in the top 3, with Crover receiving the 3rd prize and wowing the globally connected audience both on site and those streaming the event live.
ClimateKIC's CEO Kirsten Dunlop had compliments to spare for Crover's solution, saying it "will make us rethink the whole food storage system".
This gives us even more confidence that Crover's commercial success will go much beyond the national boundaries of Scotland! We'd like to thank everyone who keeps supporting us, and we look forward to making you all even prouder!
