TechX Clean Energy Accelerator
Grants and mentors early-stage clean energy start-ups worldwide toward net zero.
The programme hands out up to £50,000 in grant funding, plus hands-on support: technology-development coaching, help growing the business, and introductions to NZTC's network of advisors, investors, energy operators, as well as supply-chain partners — all aimed at helping start-ups build out their products and scale toward an affordable net zero energy industry.
The accelerator wants early-stage companies at Technology Readiness Level 3-6 building novel, fully company-owned clean energy technologies, in areas including carbon capture, utilisation and storage, renewables and grid, hydrogen and alternative fuels, and industrial decarbonisation.
