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.
Berytech caught up with five of the Cleanergy teams to hear more of their experiences, learnings and triumphs over the last year participating in different startup competitions.
Three projects managed to design their value proposition and validate it, size their market and design their MVP allowing them to be selected to continue receiving support through one of the accelerators: Cleanergy and Agrytech.
Berytech joins the Clean River Hub network as a knowledge partner in this global initiative working on accelerating the cleanup and restoration of river ecosystems.
Berytech has signed an agreement with the Association of Energy Engineers – Lebanon, with the aim to promote cooperation in the field of energy and sustainability.
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.
As a member of the Global Compact Network Lebanon, Berytech enacts the 10 principles of the UNGC and the Cleanergy Accelerator Program falls under Berytech’s mission to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Kingdom of The Netherlands is co-funding the Cleanergy Accelerator Program over the next two years, under Berytech’s ACT Smart Innovation Hub.
The Netherlands supports programs that are aimed at strengthening the Lebanese social infrastructure and improving prospects for the Lebanese.
Indeed, the current situation in Lebanon shows even more than before that innovation and job creation for youth are needed.
“Renewable energy and economic activities that take into account protection of the environment increasingly are priorities worldwide. It is important for Lebanon to be part of innovation and to provide opportunities to its youth to be part of this.”
