Scale For ClimateTech is a free manufacturing accelerator-one of the only five accelerators in the United States that provide manufacturing support plans for the growth stage of start-ups and provide founders with a series of resources, technical expertise and guidance. The program is managed by the non-profit entrepreneurial catalyst NextCorps and the impact innovation company SecondMuse, and is supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Agency (NYSERDA). More than ten partner support programs, including Urban Future Lab, Partsimony, Newlab, Cornell University, REV: Ithaca Startup Works, NY Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) and RIT Golisano Institute of Sustainability, and provide a series for founders Resources, technical expertise and guidance.

Entering Scale For ClimateTech is a competitive process, based on the effectiveness of technology solutions, team dynamics, business plans, investment prospects, demand for manufacturing resources, and the potential benefits of reducing New York State’s greenhouse gas emissions And Community Protection Act.

Each company in the queue will receive a dedicated mentor, access to the New York State hardware ecosystem, manufacturing readiness level (MRL) assessments by industry experts, a deeper understanding of the impact of greenhouse gases, and a customized roadmap development plan. In addition, they will receive opportunities for strategic partners, investors, and founder-friendly contract manufacturers to commercialize the technology in New York State and other regions.

"Congratulations to all companies for accepting the Climate Technology Scale Program and the New York Climate Innovation Ecosystem," said Katie McDonald, NYSERDA's Technical Marketing Director. “The Climate Technology Scale Program is a catalyst for the commercialization of climate technology companies, saving them valuable time and money, and enabling them to help reduce carbon emissions while supporting New York’s climate and clean energy goals.”

"As the program continues to develop in our fourth year, and the manufacturing community recovers from the pandemic, it is encouraging to see so many climate technology innovators around the world developing hardware devices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," The managing director of Scale For ClimateTech said Mike Riedlinger, head of the NextCorps project. "We are urgently working with selected teams to mass-produce products to help reduce the potential climate impact on us in the future."

“We are very impressed with the next batch of new technologies and the diverse innovators behind them. Shelby Thompson, Senior Project Manager at Scale, said: “Many of the selected companies are through other projects and incubators and even our alumni Personal recommendation from, which conveys a clear message: we can and must work together to solve the climate crisis. "For the project leader of climate technology and SecondMuse.

The For ClimateTech For ClimateTech initiative, including Venture For ClimateTech and Scale For ClimateTech, is supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Agency (NYSERDA) and managed by the non-profit entrepreneurial catalyst NextCorps and the impact innovation company SecondMuse.
