Seeking International Solutions for the Built Environment

The Clean Fight, in collaboration with NYC Economic Development Corporation, is recruiting high-impact climate solutions from around the world to be a part of the inaugural cohort of the International Landing Pad Network. Learn about the program, benefits, and application process below.

We hope you’ll join us.

LOGOS

New York City is one of the most resource rich markets in the world with unmatched opportunities for business growth and impact. This flagship program is focused on helping ready-to-scale companies overcome some of the toughest barriers to NYC market-entry — so you can get your first project off the ground, scale up, and grow your business.

The program will provide tailored business development with leading customers, matchmaking with capital providers to support your growth, and eligibility to apply for grants from $50k-$250k to unlock your first New York City deployment, and much more.

Our initial cohort is focused on the Built Environment — the buildings and infrastructure where New Yorkers live, work, and move. Together, we’ll help build a cleaner, more resilient future for all who call New York City home.

Applications are open until March 23, 2026. The program will start in June 2026 and run for 12 months. Have questions? Watch our Launch Webinar to learn about the program and its benefits to your company.
