Global non-profit tech accelerator Subak  launches applications for their 2022 cohort. Subak’s accelerator will support ten early-stage organisations across the UK and Australia in 2022 through a 12-month programme designed to fund, scale and support data-focused startups working to mitigate the climate crisis.

A leading global hub where climate tech not-for-profit startups come to scale, Subak channels the agility and expertise of the tech sector to transform understanding of the climate crisis and drive change in policy and mass-market behaviour.

The selected organisations will receive up to £110k of unrestricted grant funding and will be guided through a unique curriculum covering tech, data, and policy as well as business fundamentals.

Subak’s members are supported by some of the best minds in tech, environment, and science, including Baroness Bryony Worthington (a lead author of the UK’s Climate Change Act), Michelle You (entrepreneur and co-founder of Songkick), Gi Fernando MBE, and Dr Jack Kelly (former Google DeepMind machine learning engineer).

Applications for the 2022 cohort can be submitted now here and will close on 5 January, 2022. The programme is scheduled to begin in February 2022.

Subak has already successfully guided five organisations through the accelerator, who have collectively raised over £8.5m in funding and achieved significant consumer and policy impact. The five members of the founding cohort include New Automotive, Transition Zero, Ember, and Open Climate Fix which span the transport and energy sectors, and Climate Policy Radar which tracks climate regulations around the world. These founding members will remain involved, sharing their data and learnings with the Subak network to help the latest additions in their mission.

With a growing global network of operations underway across the UK, US, and Australia, Subak’s accelerator and fellowship programmes are projected to fund and scale 500 climate organisations and projects in the next five years.

“The global need for innovation has never been more critical, and I believe Subak is uniquely positioned to drive real, tangible change in climate impacting tech, policy and consumer behaviour. Subak’s members by definition are not competitors, they’re collaborators. By working together we’re unlocking the potential of global organisations and scaling their impact to truly make a difference.”
