The Biodiversity Accelerator+ Programme 2022 is now accepting applications. The Biodiversity Accelerator+ is a three-month, high-touch program designed to help up to eight companies maintain our planet’s biological variety.
It is founded on the notion that addressing the biodiversity crisis will necessitate both natural-based remedies and technical innovation.
The accelerator will support companies across two themes:
- Nature Technology: Companies catalyzing biodiversity protection through hardware and software solutions addressing industry pain points, such as the cost or efficacy of conservation efforts. These could include the provision of cost-effective alternatives to traditional biodiversity monitoring methodologies, ecoengineering innovations, or multicrop harvesting solutions.
- Nature Based Solutions: Companies operating on the ground to protect vulnerable landscapes or restore degraded ones via nature based solutions. Examples of such systems include regenerative agriculture (“regen ag”) or sustainable ocean aquaculture. These companies are not just protecting the environment. They are also helping local communities meet our economy’s demand for resources, while also earning better livelihoods, improving social wellbeing, and preserving the region’s cultural heritage.
