How It Works

Accelerating change at speed and scale

Be,Green

With the support of partner organisations, we run theme- and place-based ClimAccelerators in local contexts around the world. These programmes are delivered successfully and autonomously using our open-sourced, proven methodology, shaped over 10+ years of experience.

Once start-ups have successfully completed the programme, EIT Climate-KIC provides continued support to the most promising climate ventures that can demonstrate the highest impact potential. We offer select ClimAccelerator start-ups funding and support services in exchange for future equity. 

The cycle then repeats with dozens of ClimAccelerators running across the globe every year – propelling a pipeline of start-up development to unleash business solutions at the number, scale and speed required for systemic change.
