Applications are open for the Blue Economy ClimAccelerator Programme 2023. The Blue Economy ClimAccelerator is a free virtual programme of training, mentoring, knowledge-sharing and investor linkages designed to support participants to build viable business plans.

The Blue Economy ClimAccelerator seeks to promote innovative ideas to support the growth of maritime activities – fisheries, aquaculture, blue bioeconomy, coastal and maritime tourism, desalination, renewable energy (offshore, coastal & marine), maritime transport & infrastructure, ports, waste disposal management or coastal resilience and protection (e.g. sustainable tourism infrastructure, sea walls, carbon sequestration) and other related climate-positive activities in the Blue Economy.

  • Market/Investor linkages – During and beyond the programme, Pacific Greenpreneurs will have ongoing opportunities to engage with like-minded entrepreneurs, providing opportunities for professional development, brand-building, and awareness, and more. A Demo Day event will be held at the end of the programme to showcase innovations and business plans and serve to connect enterprises with investors.
  • Grant funding – Enterprises will be invited to submit business plan/funding proposals during the programme. Based on the assessment of the funding proposal submitted, grant amounts will be awarded accordingly to each start-up of between EUR 5,000 – 10,000 to implement their business plans.
