1. Climate Change – We are looking for disruptive innovations that can decarbonise energy generation and industries, as well as capture and utilise carbon to create scalable products for global markets. We also want solutions that address ocean challenges including  innovative models that restore and regenerate coastal and marine ecosystems in Southeast Asia.

2. Food & Nutrition – We are looking for disruptive innovations that can establish a circular urban agriculture or aquaculture system, or alternative protein system.  We are seeking innovative and breakthrough technological solutions to maximise production efficiency and minimise resource requirements.

This FOA will support the goals of the H2@Scale Initiative, which aims to advance affordable hydrogen production, transport, storage, and utilization to enable decarbonization and revenue opportunities across multiple sectors. These objectives align with DOE’s Hydrogen Shot, which targets affordable clean hydrogen production at $1/kg within the decade. Advancing technologies that will facilitate the adoption of clean hydrogen technologies will support the goal of net zero GHG emissions by 2050. Topic Areas Include:

1. Hydrogen Carrier Development
2. Onboard Storage Systems for Liquid Hydrogen
3. Liquid Hydrogen Transfer/Fueling Components and Systems
4. M2FCT: High Performing, Durable Membrane Electrode Assemblies for Medium and Heavy-Duty Applications

The Fourth Revolution Awards celebrates regional manufacturing and hardtech entrepreneurs for their leadership and innovation as the industry stands on the
brink of a new technological revolution. Winners receive:

• Two 6-month shared workspace memberships to mHUB
• Recognition to mHUB’s network of more than 50,000 manufacturing and innovation influencers
• Opportunities to connect with local leadership
• Local and national visibility

6-month program fast-tracks high potential startups through hands-on product development in state-of-the-art prototyping facility supported by world-class corporate and venture investors. Teams benefit from the guidance of seasoned entrepreneurs, engineers, investors and industry leaders who’ve built businesses, raised capital and helped founders realize their full potential.

Grid Catalyst is kicking off 2023 with a new opportunity for startups through our PowerNorth Incubator. Minnesota has a robust energy economy and innovation ecosystem of established companies, vibrant startups, leading research centers, government support, and cross-sector partnerships. This program will support hardtech startups on the pathway to commercialization and scaling by:

• Hosting incubator programming and a support system that is specifically curated for hardtech energy entrepreneurs and takes into consideration the technical feasibility and commercialization hurdles for those startups.
• Deepening collaboration with a network of partners, primarily mature energy and industrial businesses and leaders, who can invest in, mentor, and support entrepreneurs in this sector and region.
• Prioritizing diverse founders. To have a thriving energy innovation ecosystem, we are committed to elevating underrepresented founders in this sector.

Venture For ClimateTech is a non-profit global venture studio + accelerator program. We source the most promising climate tech innovators from around the world and offer them initial funding and hands-on support until they are ready for first customers, pilot runs, and investment. Throughout our annual cohort-based virtual program, founders will have support to build strong teams and tackle commercialization challenges.

The Los Angeles Cleantech incubator (LACI’)s Founders Business Accelerator (FBA) increases the economic, community, and environmental impact of small businesses and micro-enterprises throughout the City of Los Angles. During this free 6-month virtual program, you will develop a powerful strategy to grow in today’s rapidly changing business landscape, receive training and individual support from LACI’s highly accomplished Executives-In-Residence and other industry experts who will teach you how to strengthen your business plan, tap into vital resources, and accelerate your success!

LACI is actively recruiting entrepreneurs for a limited number of FBA seats. Competing in today’s marketplace can be tough, but we know there are powerful changemakers among us and everyone deserves a chance to make an impact. That’s why we invite entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities – women, founders of color, formerly incarcerated, veterans, and individuals with disabilities – to apply today and prepare for impact.

Cleantech Open is the world’s largest cleantech accelerator, providing entrepreneurs and corporate innovators the resources they need to launch and grow successful cleantech businesses

The CTO annual accelerator provides between 100-150 companies in the U.S. with a rich program of customer discovery, extensive mentoring, training, investor meetings, startup-corporate matching, and showcasing at both the regional and national levels. Since 2005, more than 70% of reporting U.S. alumni companies are still operating and have collectively raised over $2B in external funding.

The Application Fee per company is $30 through February 28th. On March 1st, the application fee becomes $75.

The Tech Deployment Track is an eight month accelerator program
that compresses the time, proximity, and attention required to forge partnerships,
identify projects, and move promising climate tech companies toward deployment
of their products or services in Alaska. Our focus is companies having a real impact on climate change who work on solutions in energy, transportation, or industry. However, we are open to any climate tech company who feels they have a market in Alaska.

The Destination Decarbonization Challenge is a case study competition open to undergraduate students who want to get involved in the energy industry, solve challenges surrounding carbon emissions in their local region, and win some prize money along the way!

The Milkywire Climate Transformation Fund (CTF), launched in 2021, is a charitable fund that supports pioneering projects needed to reach global net zero. Our ambition is guided by an impact-first approach, meaning we are searching for solutions with the greatest potential long-term impact that actually reduce CO₂ emissions rather than focus on carbon compensation claims.
