With the aim of supercharging startups that will help us achieve the SDGs by 2030, Startupbootcamp’s 2023 Renewable Energy & Net-Zero Accelerator Programme is now open for applications!

Reaching the 2030 SDGs and creating a more inclusive, more sustainable society requires fundamental changes in how our society and economy operate. Driving this change are innovative thinkers, disruptive startups and fresh ways of thinking that challenge the status quo. 

One of the greatest challenges of our generation is combatting the climate crisis. Creating a carbon-neutral society and economy and reaching a palace of Net Zero is now the top priority on agendas for governments, businesses and organisations across the world – and energy is the space which can have an immense impact. 

Moving to cleaner, greener energy is seen as one of the most promising ways to create a more sustainable future and startups are helping facilitate that change. The global energy industry is rapidly changing – and that needs to keep happening in order to ensure power security and reliability for all households and businesses whilst reducing emissions and managing costs. 

Startupbootcamp, through its Bold Action initiative, is aiming to support startups who are providing a better service to customers, from asset optimisation right through to alternative energy solutions. Introducing the Renewable Energy & Net-Zero Accelerator Programme.

Scale fast and grow sustainably 

The Renewable Energy & Net-Zero Accelerator Programme is part of Startupbootcamp’s mission to connect visionary founders with a global network of experts, investors, mentors and partners. Doing so, the firm aims to supercharge innovation in the energy sector, creating a net zero society and economy. 

With SBC Bold Action, Startupbootcamp is directly investing in the 90 fastest-growing impact-driven startups around the world.
