Clean technologies are taking center stage in creating smarter and more sustainable ways of living in the face of quick evolving environmental challenges. Berytech is catalyzing cleantech innovations through a yearly three-phase program that allows cleantech entrepreneurs grow their startup from an idea into a scalable business.
Entrepreneurs enrolled in the second batch of Berytech’s Cleanergy Accelerator Program, funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Lebanon, have completed the first phase of the program.
Seventeen startups enrolled in the second batch of the Cleanergy Accelerator program participated in the ‘Avant-Premiere’ a yearly activity for the Accelerator that puts the startups under real-life investor pitch conditions and allows the teams to practice their pitches, receive feedback, and validate once more their clean technology solutions.
The second batch of the Cleanergy program has started with 18 startups, selected out of received applications, each innovating in cleantech in Lebanon, including renewable energy, solid waste management, water and wastewater management, agriculture, and transportation.
The eight startups pitching have successfully completed the three-phase program, journeying through the accelerator to validate, accelerate and grow their businesses.
Berytech designed and developed the Cleanergy program to make sure Lebanon has the most competitive companies innovating in clean technology.
Innovative startups contribute to job creation and sustainable economic development.
Improved policies and business linkages contribute to an enriched ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship in cleantech led by the private sector.
Exchange with like-minded institutions from the Netherlands and Lebanon coupled with dynamic academia contribute to the improvement of the local business environment and private sector development.
