Biodiversity Accelerator+ Programme 2022 (Fully-funded to Singapore)

Applications are now invited for the Biodiversity Accelerator+ Programme 2022. Here’s how to apply:
Deadline: June 24, 2022
Applications are open for theย Biodiversity Accelerator+ Programme 2022. The Biodiversity Accelerator+ is a three-month, high touch programme aimed at supporting up to 8 companies protecting the biological diversity of our planet.
It is anchored on the belief that solving the biodiversity crisis will require both the adoption of nature-based solutions, as well as technological innovation.
The accelerator will support companies across two themes:

  • Nature Technology:ย Companies catalyzing biodiversity protection through hardware and software solutions addressing industry pain points, such as the cost or efficacy of conservation efforts. These could include the provision of cost-effective alternatives to traditional biodiversity monitoring methodologies, ecoengineering innovations, or multicrop harvesting solutions.
  • Nature Based Solutions:ย Companies operating on the ground to protect vulnerable landscapes or restore degraded ones via nature based solutions. Examples of such systems include regenerative agriculture (โ€œregen agโ€) or sustainable ocean aquaculture. These companies are not just protecting the environment. They are also helping local communities meet our economyโ€™s demand for resources, while also earning better livelihoods, improving social wellbeing, and preserving the regionโ€™s cultural heritage.
