The US Green Building Council – Los Angeles is launching the 5th year of the Net Zero Accelerator to pilot and promote technologies that help make zero carbon, zero energy, zero water, and zero waste buildings a reality for the region. To date we’ve guided the success of 70 companies. Large gaps exist today between net zero building policy and current technologies in use. This program will bridge those gaps by identifying viable technologies, positioning them for success, and accelerating their market entry in Los Angeles.

Now in its third year, the AWS Space Accelerator, delivered by TechConnect, is a hybrid technical, business, and mentorship opportunity open to space startups from around the globe who are looking to power their space missions using AWS. The 2023 programming will take place from May 1 – May 25. Applications are open now through March 6. Startups will advance to a final round of selection on a rolling basis, so early applications are encouraged.

The Carbon to Value (C2V) Initiative—a unique partnership among Urban Future Lab at New York University-Tandon, Greentown Labs, and Fraunhofer USA, and supported by NYSERDA— is unlocking a new carbontech economy, bringing innovative solutions to scale as rapidly as possible through the creation of a robust, powerful, and collaborative new ecosystem.

The C2V Initiative is a six-month accelerator designed to help you advance your technology within the burgeoning carbontech market and policy landscape.

C2V is seeking groundbreaking carbontech startups between TRL 4 and TRL 7 that are developing differentiated and scalable solutions that capture carbon and/or incorporate captured carbon as a major input for valorization. Technology areas include, but are not limited to: Carbon Capture (DAC); Carbon Conversion to Added-Value Products; Carbon Dioxide Removal; and Enabling Technologies, such as Measurement, Reporting and Verification systems.

Because the challenges climate tech startups face are not one-size-fits all, our flexible and virtual 18-month accelerator is designed to meet your startup exactly where you are. From day one you get matched with a D³ connector, who acts as your bridge into our powerfully curated network of partners.

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.
