Start-up Accelerator & Innovation Platform

Cycle Momentum, a start-up accelerator and innovation engine, offers acceleration programmes for clean technology companies and open innovation programmes for large companies. As an integral part of the Cycle Capital platform, Cycle Momentum works closely with companies that develop and commercialize clean technologies and thus supports the early stage development of companies with international competitive potential. Anchored in the cleantech ecosystem, Cycle Momentum propels impactful innovation in early-stage companies through training workshops, networking sessions, mentoring and access to investors. In addition, its various corporate programmes foster innovation within large organisations. To increase the impact of its programs, Cycle Momentum has brought together several local and international investment funds in its Partner Fund Circle, whose members are involved with participating start-ups.
