BEAMLINE ACCELERATOR
OUR VISION
INVESTING IN CLEAN INNOVATION
We are the cleantech accelerator for cleantech startups.
Having established the cleantech sector in the region, Beamline came into life to meet the needs of the market – there is a sudden growth in the number of climate tech startups and segments, but there are only generic accelerator programmes. We are here to change that!
We offer a tailor-made approach to each climate tech startup, delivering services, mentorship and networks to fuel organic growth. And then something special happens - those cleantech startups with the same stage, mindset and values create synergies in the batch that often leads to peer-support & collab. Industry-specific content and stakeholders that can really accelerate our ambitious startups, will take your startup to another level!
The application round will soon be open again.

INTERESTED?
"I think one of the most valuable things is definitely people in Beamline. If you get chosen into the batch, you’ll have the access to people who have a lot of answers to a lot of questions (in topics startup development, investments, operations, hiring or whatever you may think of). So network is crucial and you will have great network during the accelerator and also afterwards!"
