Each enterprise is required to select the lot that best represents its technological solution.
Funding is provided through grant ticket sizes of up to $20,000 USD per enterprise. The programme duration is 3 weeks and is designed to support enterprises in scaling and advancing their innovations within a short implementation period.

Priority is given to enterprises that demonstrate readiness for further scaling and market entry.
Female-led and youth-led enterprises are strongly encouraged to apply, reflecting the programme’s commitment to inclusive participation and support for underrepresented groups in the clean technology sector.
