From Green Innovation to Business Action

GreenUp Accelerator is an intensive 12-week acceleration program that helps startups and teams transform technical potential into practical business progress.

The program supports solutions in green chemistry, climate technology, environmental technology and circular economy through mentorship, expert workshops, market validation and access to relevant partners.

The program is open to teams and startups across the full TRL
1–9 spectrum, from early research and concepts to validated, market-ready solutions. We welcome both teams (non-incorporated startups) and formally incorporated startups in the form of LLCs, helping them strengthen their business models, better understand their markets and define practical next steps for development and growth.
