​
​
Do I need to relocate to Italy?
​
No, there is no need to relocate for the entire program. We try to be as founder friendly as possible though we do require (in compliance with all Covid-19 regulations) participation for our launch and closing event, for one or more members of your team to attend any meetings/activities.
​
​
Will you pay my travel expenses?
​
No, we do not reimburse or pay for any travel expenses.
​
​
What does it take to enter the GreenHydrogenTech Accelerator?
​
This is not a traditional accelerator. Being a corporate scouting program it’s not about how good your solution is but more about how good of a fit it is with our Corporate Partners’ innovation needs. Please refer to the “Who Should Apply” section for more information.
We do look for a great, flexible and collaborative team that is motivated and ready to work with an industrial partner.
​
​
​
I can’t find the right technology trend for my startup, does that mean I should not apply?
​
Not necessarily, if your company is developing breakthrough innovative solutions along the green hydrogen value chain, you should definitely apply and select the macro-trend that you feel is closest to what you do.
​
​
What kind of companies do you accelerate?
We describe ourselves as a “later stage accelerator or scale-up program”. This means that if you are developing an innovative technology or you are already on the market and are looking to keep growing, you are definitely a great fit for this program.
However, we are equally comfortable working with early stage companies that feel they could benefit from the collaboration with an industrial partner.
