Terra One Secures 2nd Place at KPMG Venture Champion Finale 2025

Berlin, Germany – What an electrifying evening! Terra One is proud to announce we secured a remarkable 2nd place at the highly competitive KPMG Venture Champion Finale 2025, held yesterday in Berlin. This achievement comes after a rigorous selection process that saw over 100 nominees vying for a spot, with the top 10 pitching their groundbreaking ideas to a distinguished jury of eight investors and entrepreneurs.

The atmosphere was charged with innovation, with impactful keynotes and two dynamic rounds of startup pitches. We shared the stage with an incredibly strong field of companies, including the highly-regarded Rabot Energy, Accure Battery Intelligence, and Vamo, all demonstrating impressive traction in their respective fields.

While the top spot was claimed by traceless materials – a truly innovative company developing sustainable plastics alternatives, who have already secured €100M in funding – our second-place finish is a monumental success for Terra One, especially just 2.5 years after our foundation.

Our team captivated the expert jury with our stellar team, our unique machine-learning based trading platform, and our immense project pipeline. This recognition is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and visionary spirit of the entire Terra One team.

A huge congratulations to traceless materials and Anne Lamp for their well-deserved 1st place, and to Rabot Energy and Konrad Schade for securing 3rd place. We also extend our respect to all the pitching startups – Vamo, bunch, Shit2Power, Circunomics, ACCURE Battery Intelligence & RefresherBoxx – for lighting up the stage with their brilliant ideas.

Our heartfelt thanks go to the esteemed jury: Anne Decker, Martin Kröner, Christian Schad, Christian Schulte, Dr. Barbara Mehner, Eric Weber & Michael Salcher. Your expertise, passion, and insightful perspectives truly made a difference.

And finally, to everyone who joined us and made the KPMG Venture Champion Finale 2025 an evening full of inspiration, innovation, and impact – thank you! We are incredibly excited to continue our journey as visionary founders and look forward to the future.
