The future of agrifood and clean technologies is increasingly interconnected, with many of today’s most promising solutions emerging where the two sectors meet. From sustainable food production and resource efficiency to circular economy solutions and clean energy, innovation is increasingly happening at the intersection of industries rather than within them. Reflecting this evolution, Berytech is launching a special edition of its accelerator programs, bringing together the eighth batch of the Agrytech Accelerator and the fifth batch of the Clyntech Accelerator in one shared entrepreneurial journey.
This year’s edition welcomes 14 startups working across agrifood and cleantech technologies. For the first time, they will progress through much of the program as one cohort, learning side by side while continuing to receive the specialized support each venture needs to grow within its own field.
Over the next six months, participating startups will follow an intensive acceleration program designed to help them validate their solutions, strengthen their business models, and prepare for growth. Through workshops, technical clinics, one-on-one mentorship, business coaching, and hands-on guidance, founders will be supported every step of the way. Following the acceleration phase, selected startups will continue into a four-month incubation phase, receiving additional support to further develop and commercialize their innovations.
While each team faces its own technical and market-specific challenges, many of the entrepreneurial skills needed to build a successful business are shared. More importantly, this approach reflects the way innovation increasingly happens today. Agrifood startups are increasingly looking to technologies that improve resource efficiency, reduce waste, optimize production, and strengthen sustainability. At the same time, many cleantech solutions find their greatest impact when applied to real challenges faced by industries such as agrifood.
Bringing these entrepreneurs together creates opportunities that go beyond sharing the same workshops. It allows founders to learn from different perspectives, discover unexpected synergies, and challenge one another’s thinking, while continuing to benefit from tailored guidance that responds to their unique technologies, markets, and stage of growth. The result is a richer learning experience that combines the strength of a shared entrepreneurial foundation with the depth of sector-specific expertise.
Throughout the program, participants will also gain access to Berytech’s wider network of mentors, investors, industry experts, corporate partners, and innovation stakeholders. Along the way, they’ll build valuable connections, strengthen their market readiness, and gain exposure to local and international ecosystems that can help open doors to partnerships, funding opportunities, and new markets long after the program comes to an end.
The selected startups represent a diverse range of solutions tackling some of today’s most pressing challenges across agrifood and cleantech. Over the coming months, they will work closely with Berytech and its network of partners to transform promising ideas into scalable businesses with the potential to create lasting economic and environmental impact.
“An accelerator isn’t just about helping startups move faster. It’s about exposing founders to the right people, the right questions, and sometimes the unexpected conversations that completely change the way they think. This edition isn’t simply about combining two programs. It’s about intentionally creating the kind of environment where different experiences collide, assumptions are challenged, and innovation happens in ways you can’t plan for.”
- Elise Sfeir, Program Manager
As the Agrytech Accelerator enters its eighth edition and the Clyntech Accelerator reaches its fifth, this joint cohort marks an exciting new chapter for both programs. By bringing together entrepreneurs working on complementary challenges while preserving the specialized support that defines each accelerator, Berytech continues to build an innovation ecosystem where stronger businesses, and stronger solutions, can grow together.
