The Prix EDF Pulse is EDF's own corporate prize, given to startups in France working on decarbonisation and energy.
A winner receives a cash prize - no amount is stated - together with visibility through EDF and the prospect of a commercial partnership. No equity is involved. For a climate team whose route to market runs through a large energy incumbent, the partnership is the part of that package that matters.

What it actually costs you
EDF’s corporate prize recognises startups in France working on decarbonisation and energy. Winners take a cash prize together with visibility through the utility and the prospect of a commercial partnership. No equity is taken. For climate teams whose route to market runs through a large energy incumbent, the partnership angle matters more than the cash.
