Local Minister of Stete, Deputy Robert Troy, Minister for State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment has launched the Bord na Móna funded Accelerate Green Programme.
This is the first accelerator dedicated to scaling companies leading the response to climate action and sustainability by developing products and services based on ‘green’ innovation.
Bord na Móna, which is focused on delivering climate solutions, has partnered with Resolve Partners and ERINN Innovation to establish Accelerate Green.
Companies accepted on the Accelerate Green programme will have the potential to scale nationally and internationally, from their already existing business base and be in the carbon/climate/sustainability sector or pivoting their business to drive that change.
“I’m delighted to support Bord na Móna’s Accelerate Green programme today. The collaboration between Bord na Móna, Resolve Partners and ERINN Innovation is both welcome and timely. The Accelerate Green programme is an important initiative for the Midlands, that will promote the adoption and acceleration of green and sustainable business activity in the region and further afield. It will enable companies to scale their business and grow their competitive edge as the demand for sustainable and energy efficient solutions increases globally, resulting in positive benefits for communities where they are based,” Minister Troy asserted.
