Tackling Climate Change Together
Innovations in climate protection
Promoting ideas
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.
Carbon Removal Accelerator
Start-ups that give us hope
After an initial phase in which, among other things, the start-ups' business models were validated, teams were selected for in-depth support in the second phase. The decision was based on various criteria such as market size, business model and potential for climate impact. In phase 2, Munich Re and ERGO supported the founders with grants and mentoring. The focus was on evaluating business ideas, identifying customers and preparing start-ups for investments.
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.
