ClimAccelerator 2026 (EIT Climate-KIC)
What a participant receives depends on which hub admits them. ClimAccelerator is delivered through local partners at several sites across the EU, and the funding varies by location. The constant is roughly six months of support and introductions to investors.
Climate-KIC itself takes no equity at the programme level, so the scheme is non-dilutive as far as the organiser is concerned.
The 2026 edition, aimed at AI and deep-tech companies working on climate impact, closed to applications on 28 February 2026 at 12:00 CET. No date has been published for the next cohort call.
What it actually costs you
ClimAccelerator is EIT Climate-KIC’s programme for AI and deep-tech companies working on climate impact, delivered through local partners at multiple hubs across the EU. Each hub runs roughly six months of support, with funding that varies by location and introductions to investors. Climate-KIC itself takes no equity, so participation does not dilute founders at the programme level.
