Benefits

Why companies apply for the Label?

1. Access to market

We were quoted by Bertrand Piccard on television. This has attracted the attention of a multinational that has today become our strategic partner.
Antoine Meffre, CEO from Eco-Tech Ceram

2. Appeal to investors

For us, as investors, the Solar Impulse Label was a very positive sign during the due diligence, as it validated the technological part of the company, while we were more focused on the financial side.
Sophia Martin, Investment Director from RAISE

3. Contribute to environmental advocacy

In the traditional maritime public sector, it is sometimes hard to know what door to knock on to be heard and make things move forward. Thankfully, we can talk to the Solar Impulse Foundation public affairs team who can share their experience in navigating through convoluted political landscapes.
Naïk Londono, Co-founder & CEO from AELER Technologies SA

4. Feedback from industry expert

For us, the whole process was very valuable, because not only were the questions relevant for our Solution, but also the feedback from the Experts helped us to prepare our next fundraising round a few months later
Pierre-Emmanuel Casanova, Co-founder from Hysilabs

5. Gain credibility

We are delighted that two of our solutions have been awarded the label by your foundation, particularly in view of Bertrand Piccard's outstanding image and his initiatives for the planet. The Solar Impulse label reinforces the credibility of our solutions with our customers and stakeholders
