Competition for sustainable energy innovators!
InnoEnergy, Europe’s largest
sustainable energy accelerator, today launches PowerUp! – the biggest
regional competition for energy start-ups in central and eastern Europe
(CEE). InnoEnergy is offering the opportunity to take part in its
flagship Highway programme, which offers support worth €150k to the most
promising sustainable energy start-ups, along with three cash prizes of
up to €20k.
Successful applicants will take part in unique bootcamp workshops to
hone their ideas and develop skills to accelerate their businesses
towards commercialisation – including professional mentoring and expert
knowledge-sharing programmes. The best start-ups will progress to
national finals where they will pitch their innovative solutions to a
panel of CEE industry, start-up and energy experts.
15 start-ups will advance to the grand finals in Budapest in November
to battle for the top cash prize of €20k and the opportunity to join
InnoEnergy’s exclusive Highway programme. The Highway is a unique
accelerator programme worth up for €150k for early stage start-ups with a
time to market of less than two years.
Jakub Miller, CEO of InnoEnergy Poland Plus, says: “CEE has huge
innovation potential and we’re on a mission to realise that. We want to
find the biggest, best and brightest innovations that can make Europe’s
sustainable energy future a reality. By offering them bootcamp
workshops, professional mentoring, and business and financial support we
hope to empower these companies to make a real difference to CEE’s
economy.”
