EIT Climate-KIC start-up accelerator with Munich Re and ERGO

ClimAccelerator: Fostering innovation

EIT Climate-KIC (Knowledge & Innovation Community) is the European Union’s largest public-private climate initiative. Together with Munich Re and ERGO, EIT Climate-KIC has set the ambition to enable transformational start-ups to accelerate through radical collaboration and shared resources. In the newly launched Carbon Removal ClimAccelerator. EIT Climate-KIC joined forces with Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), the Sustainability in Business Lab at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), and Pannon Pro Innovations (PPIS).

Carbon Removal ClimAccelerator

The Carbon Removal ClimAccelerator programme supports start-ups focusing on technological and nature-based solutions such as afforestation, direct air capture, biochar, and bioenergy-based carbon capture and storage. Selected start-ups will receive training, grants, mentorship, and access to networks.

Cambridge Carbon Capture

Technology for industrial CO2 capture with valuable by-products

Carbogenics

Converting paper waste into carbon to improve bioprocesses

Carbon Infinity

Direct CO2 removal from the air in the manufacturing industry

Carbon Instead

Solution for decarbonisation of building materials

Climate Farmers

Infrastructure for the expansion of regenerative agriculture

These start-ups are already on their way to success

Their creative solutions are as different as the start-ups themselves. But there is one thing they all have in common: Their applications for support have been selected in the Side Call of Climate-KIC and Munich Re/ERGO.
