The EIT Climate-KIC is working together with the European Innovation Council (EIC) Business Acceleration Services to offer you a new programme, in which 80 EIC accelerator startups, scale-ups or SMEs will be able to participate. EIT Climate KIC will help you understand, measure, and forecast how your product or service mitigates climate change. Companies will be invited into the programme on a first-come first-served basis.

Are you interested? Apply here until 31 January 2022!

 

What’s in it for you?

During this five-month programme you will be working directly with climate and life-cycle-assessment experts. In the programme, you will be supported with tools, methodologies and through coaching to help you understand, measure, and forecast the CO2 emissions of your product or service innovation and compare them to the business-as-usual solution. 

You will get to understand the basic concepts of climate mitigation impact. In a first step you will develop a climate impact hypothesis of your key product or service. Through training sessions, you will be able to turn your climate impact hypothesis into a more detailed forecast. 

At the end of this programme, you will get the climate mitigation impact in CO2 eq. of one of your key products or service innovations validated and certified.

You will receive the certification in form of a digital report, which you can use to show investors, customers, suppliers, and your community how your product or service innovation mitigates climate change.

The programme will be offered from January 2022 to June 2022, with several different start dates. After registration, the team will be in touch with you to determine your start date. In addition, you will have access to the online Climate Impact Forecast Tool for the entire year!

Who can apply?

EIC Accelerator beneficiaries - current or from the last five years: startups, scale-ups or SMEs that claim to have a climate mitigation impact and have previously been supported by the EIC.
