To support its work with the European Battery Alliance (EBA), InnoEnergy hopes to attract and support startups with innovative technology or business model concepts focused on electric storage. Of particular interest are electric storage innovations for application in transportation, for grid, distributed and mobile energy storage, or for the delivery of energy efficiency improvements and emission reductions. Successful applicants will receive a place on one of InnoEnergy’s business creation programmes – the Highway™ or Boostway™ – and a tailored package of support, training, services and funding. The Highway™ programme uses a hands-on approach to support early stage startups in the go-to-market phase, helping ready products for commercialisation. The Boostway™ programme supports scale-ups to grow their businesses. 

Successful applicants will gain access to a network of more than 385 partners including specialist business angels, InnoEnergy’s European VC community and public funding bodies. Startups also gain board-level advice and mentorship and a front-row seat at European energy events, including The Business Booster, InnoEnergy’s annual networking event, where companies across the energy value chain attend to meet startups and innovations under one roof, concluded the press release.
