CLEANTECH
ACCELERATION
PROGRAM
Startup Lisboa, as an incubator and facilitator of innovation processes and activities for the city, will implement an acceleration program at the HCB Living Lab dedicated to clean technologies, focusing on the priority areas: Energy, Buildings, Mobility, Circular Economy and Environment.
With the objective of stimulating sustainability practices in the creation and development of businesses, the program intends to reward innovative products and services that must, in part, be demonstrable in the context of the HCB, thus contributing to the constant evolution of the living laboratory and to the sustainable transformation of Lisbon.
Startup Lisboa has promoted acceleration programs in several areas, from the restauration sector to the creative industries and, more recently, co-organized the Women4Climate mentoring program with the Lisbon City Council, within the framework of the C40 network of cities. Promoting a culture of entrepreneurship and attracting national and international talent is at the heart of Lisbon’s and HCB’s economic policy.
Clean Future is the name of the acceleration program, promoted by Unicorn Factory Lisboa and Startup Lisboa. There are €20,000 in prizes and applications run until 23 April on the program’s official website: www.cleanfuture.pt
