Are you looking for support to scale your compelling climate solution? How about access to world-class expertise? Or opportunities to commercialise your solutions in Singapore and beyond? If yes, then apply for Cycle 2 of the Sustaintech Xcelerator 2023 program.

The Sustaintech Xcelerator Cycle 2 (2023) is seeking climate innovators to present feasible carbon dioxide and/or greenhouse gases removal pathways, to accelerate development at scale as part of a suite of climate actions.

The Sustaintech Xcelerator 2023 is a 6-month hybrid accelerator focused on carbon removal with the aim to eliminate carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or greenhouse gases from the atmosphere at scale.

Focus Areas

The Sustaintech Xcelerator Cycle 2 will accelerate solutions in following three main areas:

• Nature-based approaches such as afforestation and reforestation
• Technology based approaches such as carbon capture and storage
• Enablers such as digital tools and capabilities on carbon accounting and sourcing of ESG data, with a preference for solutions that can help SMEs implement viable technology solutions to green their operations

Benefits

• The Sustaintech Xcelerator provides bespoke support to selected applicants from our world-leading supporters like DBS Bank, Temasek, GenZero, Google Cloud, Capgemni, National University of Singapore Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions, Verra and the World Bank. Your team will have access to the expertise from these organisations and their partners, helping to accelerate their solutions for large-scale impact.
• Grant: A S$50,000 grant awarded to each selected innovator.
• Mentorship: Each innovator will be paired with mentors from our partners and other organisations in our network.
• Research: Innovators will have access to leading research expertise from the NUS Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions.
• Exposure: Innovators will be given frequent pitching and speaking opportunities. Public showcases will be organized with a wide range of private- and public sector stakeholders.
• Continuity: Innovators will be provided with opportunities to remain engaged in the Singapore ecosystem – through academic partnerships and commercialisation opportunities.
• Resources: Each team will be provided with in-kind resources including free office space in Singapore (for local teams).

Eligibility Criteria

• ​Sustaintech Xcelerator is a global accelerator. They invite start-ups, established companies and academics commercialising new technologies to join the challenge.
• Some examples of technologies and solutions that will be able to remove carbon at scale
• Directly removing carbon from atmosphere at scale of 1MT potential by 2030, eg. nature-based, technology-based or hybrid.
• Enabling carbon removal. e.g. through improved efficiency, verification or financing of carbon removal projects
• Enablers such as digital tools and capabilities on carbon accounting and sourcing of ESG data, with a preference for solutions that can help SMEs implement viable technology solutions to green their operations
