The Innovate UK Global Incubator Programmme for Clean Growth in New York is now open.

We are currently accepting applications for up to 8 innovative companies in the Clean Growth sector to join our programme delivered in partnership with a leading incubator space in New York, USA.

Making it in New York City provides limitless opportunities and offers an innovation ecosystem like no other. New York has ambitious goals to address challenges in energy, water, waste, infrastructure, transportation, and resiliency, including a goal of a carbon-free electric grid by 2040. To meet a goal of 100% zero-emission electricity by 2040, the state is targeting offshore wind, increased energy storage and greater energy efficiency.
