Maritime ClimAccelerator 2021

OBJETIVE

The Maritime ClimAccelerator is a mentorship-based programme. We are interested in developing high impact startups which will deliver breakthrough solutions to the maritime industry. Hence, we will not only invest money in your idea, but we will provide everything needed to accelerate your startup’s success. 

The successful applicants will be instantly connected to our multidisciplinary network of mentors drawn from external maritime experts and from our in-house consortium partners (academia and research).

Candidates will receive training, coaching, and tailored mentoring (both virtually and in-person) with the aim of accelerating their idea towards commercialisation.

ADDRESSED TO

The programme is open to start-ups from around the world, pending on current EU regulations.

30-40 start-ups will be accepted per year and will be asked to provide innovative solutions for the transition to sustainability of the maritime industry, both locally and globally, and will be given the opportunity to present their ideas in front of investors, port authorities and shipping companies.

AMOUNT

5.000 - 20.000 EUR 

The amount will depend on the maturity level of the business and specific conditions.

ADVANTAGES

One of the most significant challenges maritime startups face is testing and developing their solutions in real conditions. The Maritime ClimAccelerator has been designed to help selected startups to overcome these challenges. 

We will help successful applicants to demonstrate the feasibility of their idea in maritime conditions by providing access, both locally and globally, to our vast network of collaborators and their infrastructure (i.e. ports), equipment, machinery and other assets (laboratories) as well as human resources (i.e. IT developers).

APPLICATION

The deadline will be open until June 24, 2021 at 23.59h.
