Trinity College Dublin’s Climate Accelerator Programme Launched

A new climate accelerator programme aimed at SMEs and start-ups operating in the built environment has opened for submissions.

The Built Environment Accelerator is a collaboration between Tangent, Trinity College Dublin’s Ideas Workspace, and innovation hub Green Tech HQ.

It is supported by EIT (European Institute of Technology) Climate KIC (Knowledge and Innovation Community).

Recognising the imperative for the built environment and construction industries to embrace a net-zero carbon future, this programme is poised to find solutions to reduce carbon emission in these sectors.

The accelerator is geared towards empowering SMEs and startups to bring solutions to the market.

Through a six-month programme, participants will establish connections within an international ecosystem of collaborators and leaders.

This includes partners like the EIT Climate-KIC community, mentors, entrepreneurs, and alumni.

Complementing this network is a suite of commercial and strategic supports.

The programme will be delivered remotely from Trinity and includes a combination of workshops, coaching and learning from peers.

All interested in participating will have an opportunity to hear more about the programme and meet the facilitators on 29th August via an online webinar.
