The New Energy Challenge encourages collaboration between start-ups and industry as a way to fast-track the development and introduction of breakthrough technologies. Businesses are being encouraged to propose disruptive solutions that could contribute to shaping a low-carbon energy system for the future.
The Challenge has two distinct tracks: one for start-ups and a track for scale-ups. In doing so, the Challenge will offer companies with different levels of maturity business value that suits their specific needs.
- Track One offers early-stage start-ups an intensive programme to validate their business plans and exchange ideas with coaches and experts. The winning finalist receives at least €100,000 towards a proof of concept within the Shell GameChanger programme, enabling them to test the technical and commercial viability of their solution.
- Track Two offers scale-ups the opportunity to engage with experts and exchange knowledge and ideas, as well the opportunity to design a pilot proposal. The winner will further develop and potentially execute the pilot, together with Shell Ventures and Shell’s Renewables & Energy Solutions business.
The focus is on businesses offering low-carbon energy solutions that could be vital in accelerating the energy transition.
The deadline for applications is 1 June 2021.
