If you work with innovative founders, spin-outs, researchers, early-stage ventures or scale-ups tackling energy transition challenges, we'd be grateful if you could share this opportunity across your network and encourage suitable companies to apply.
Why recommend TechX? Selected startups will receive:
- Up to £50,000 in grant funding*
- A place on our 12-week accelerator programme
