The Greenhouse Demo Day

Undaunted’s flagship event

The Greenhouse Demo Day Cohort 8

Imperial’s climate innovation community came together on 4 June 2026 to celebrate its eighth cohort of cleantech startups coming to the end of their time on our unique accelerator programme, The Greenhouse.

14 early-stage deep-tech ventures tackling climate change across energy, infrastructure, materials, biotech, and nature poured what they’ve learnt over the past 12 months into impressive pitches to investors on the iconic stage at The Royal Institution.
