Shell kickstarts cleantech startup accelerator GCxN
December 17, 2018

Energy Digital covers the announcement of Shell’s Startup Accelerator’s new cohort including Feasible Inc., Antora Energy, e-Zn, and Electrical Grid Monitoring.

Following an extensive global selection process, GCxN has named four companies to its inaugural cohort as it partners early-stage companies with experts from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Shell’s GameChanger program to provide promising startups with access to financial resources, state-of-the-art facilities and world-class technical experts. The assistance is designed to help companies de-risk technology development while accelerating their path to market.

Unlike most accelerators, companies cannot simply apply to GCxN. Instead, companies must be recommended by a member of the Channel Partners network (cleantech incubators, accelerators and universities), with finalists selected after rigorous review by technology experts at NREL and Shell. The selected startups are focused on developing long-term energy storage and smart grid controls.
