About us
We are an accelerator. The only demand-driven incubator in Portugal.
Instead of starting with ideas and hoping the market will follow, you’ll step into challenges where demand is already clear and urgent.
Cohorts are shaped by industry signals, giving you clarity from the start.
With companies ready to pilot and investors watching closely, you’re building on solid ground. We’re not a climate-tech incubator, but we believe profitability and sustainability can be reconciled.
And we take that belief across industries.
Our work starts where efficiency meets impact: helping founders identify the vehicles (technological, operational, or strategic) where greener decisions drive stronger performance.
For us, sustainability is a consequence of doing things properly, and we don’t separate green from growth.
While our roots are in Portugal, our mission extends far beyond. We also deliver on the internationalization and export of our best solutions, connecting Portugal’s innovation with the emerging markets where they can scale and thrive.

The Acceleration Experience
Step 1
Kickoff & Immersion
You’ll begin the cohort by diving into urgent,
market-defined challenges. From day one, your startup
is aligned with industries that are already demanding
change, giving you focus and direction instead of
guesswork.
Step 2
Mentorship & Acceleration
Global advisors and leading Portuguese experts work with you to refine your product, sharpen your go-to-market strategy, and prepare your startup for both corporate pilots and market entry.
Step 3
Pilots & Pipeline Building
Your solution is tested in the field with corporate partners, generating real traction and validation. At the same time, you’ll build a pipeline of clients and stakeholders - turning demand into revenue potential you can present with confidence.
Step 4
Demo Day & Fundraising
The journey culminates with Demo Day and curated investor matchmaking. You’ll present results, show both traction and revenue opportunities, and open doors to fundraising and scale.
