The Clean Energy Accelerator is open for mature startups looking to drive technical and commercial milestones by leveraging cutting-edge technologies from Amazon Web Services (AWS) in support of developing clean energy solutions.

The Clean Energy Accelerator is a virtual five-week, technical, business, and mentorship accelerator delivered by Freshwater Advisors. You will work with leading AWS technical experts to build and scale your cloud platform. The program delivers over 75 hours of support, and participants will be able to access the AWS Partner Network (APN) to build connections and potentially gain pilots and partnerships. During the program, the companies will benefit from both the technical and commercial expertise at AWS, along with connections to participating corporations to help optimize and deploy clean energy solutions that align with their mission and objectives.

The program will also bring in industry leaders to collaborate with you on topics ranging from climate change, international regulatory law, capitalization strategies for strategic partnerships, managing mergers and acquisitions, working with the public sector, and more.
