The Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC) has launched its 2026 TechX Accelerator, selecting eight startups to receive a total of £400,000 in funding. The cohort aims to develop clean energy technologies that facilitate the transition to net zero and generate economic opportunities.

The 14-week program starts today at NZTC's Aberdeen offices, supported by the UK and Scottish Governments. Startups are addressing significant challenges such as reducing emissions in industrial processes and improving floating offshore wind efficiency. Participants will receive funding, mentoring, and technical support, culminating in a Demo Day in Aberdeen for investment opportunities.
