The New Energy Challenge (NEC) provides an annual open innovation competition that connects promising global startups and scaleups in the energy sector with stakeholders to accelerate the decarbonization of energy systems. In this year's eighth edition, the NEC is seeking global emerging technologies that promote regenerative agriculture, have a positive impact on nature, and support sustainable use of land and resources.
Apply here until 25 May!
The NEC is a partnership between Shell (Shell Ventures, GameChanger) Rockstart, Unknown Group and YES!Delft and is open to start-ups and scale-ups in Europe and beyond. The winning companies will be given the opportunity to connect with investors and experts, unlocking the knowledge, contacts, funding, and support needed to scale their business and help them to drive change in the energy system.
This year’s competition is focused on technologies that can leverage waste, agricultural or otherwise, as a feedstock for biofuels development, thereby reducing waste while also contributing to renewable energy production.
Startups and scaleups interested in signing up for the competition can do it until 25 May, on a second submission date after the initial deadline of 1 May.
