Tackling Climate Change Together
Innovations in climate protection
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. The collaboration started in 2017 with the promotion of clean-tech startups and focused on carbon removal solutions in the ClimAccelerator since 2021.
Second phase in ClimAccelerator
After supporting 18 start-ups in the first phase of the Carbon Removal ClimAccelerator in fall of 2023, eight of the most promising teams continued to the next round which kicked off in December. These start-ups were chosen based on a range of criteria, including market size, business model and climate impact potential.
The Carbon Removal ClimAccelerator announced in December 2023 its selection for Stage 2 of the programme. Eight promising start-ups from five countries continued to be supported over the next months to further develop their solutions for long-term carbon removal and its permanent storage.

From innovative ideas to market-ready solutions
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.
From innovative ideas to market-ready solutions: this page provides an overview of the start-ups supported thus far. Find out more about their exciting business models and the teams behind them on the details pages.
