#EURESFO23 Pitch Slam
This year's European Urban Resilience Forum will feature a solution pitch slam to facilitate engagement between cities / regions and solution providers, and improve the knowledge and bankability of local resilience projects.
During the pitch slam, cities and regions will have the opportunity to gather market intelligence on the current and future capabilities of the market and convey the specific resilience-related needs, ambitions and challenges facing their community. These market dialogues can improve the investment-readiness of local projects by informing the development of specific objectives, requirements, and de-risked business models.
Solution providers will be able to showcase their innovative, scalable and adaptable solution and describe the resilience challenge it addresses. Solution providers will be encouraged to share insights on the current capabilities and potential evolution of the market and discuss how the market can meet the specific objectives and needs of cities and regions. Solution providers interested in taking part in the pitch slam are invited to fill out this registration form. Selected solutions will be informed prior to the start of the forum.
This session is part of the Challenging knowledge and innovation: accelerating a resilient and just transformation stream.

Cities can report their climate hazards, their most recent climate risks and vulnerability assessment, their climate adaptation plans, goals, measures, and projects. CDP and ICLEI officers provide assistance throughout the reporting process.
