Markus Sudhoff, an angel investor who runs a climate tech accelerator, says he has seen an increase in new founders entering the space over the last year after a slow period.
The shift comes amid a boom in AI and software startups building tools for industries such as energy, water, and manufacturing.
"It really is a new wave," he tells Impact Loop on the sidelines of The Drop conference in Malmö.
