Accelerate Green programme open to Longford innovators

Applications are now open until November 10, 2023, for companies to take part in Bord na Móna’s Accelerate Green programme.

Bord na Móna is encouraging businesses in Longford to apply with a particular focus on SMEs looking to scale, start-ups with innovative climate solutions, and companies in the development stage looking for investment.

The programme itself will officially commence in January 2024 and is a transformative accelerator programme developed to equip Irish business owners in the climate action and sustainability sector with the skills and knowledge to scale their business here in Ireland and beyond.

In conjunction with Resolve Partners, Accelerate Green will bring the successful applicants through a series of expert learning modules delivered by industry leaders, entrepreneurs, potential investors and successful Irish business representatives.

Accelerate Green businesses will have access to networking, mentoring and business development opportunities through engagement with experienced senior leaders across Bord na Móna’s businesses.

The participants will also gain insight into Bord na Móna’s commercial expertise and learnings as a business that has fully transitioned from Brown to Green – shifting from traditional peat harvesting to climate solutions and renewable energy development.
