Startup ecosystem in County Offaly

A Accelerate Green

Accelerate Green is Ireland's flagship climate-tech and sustainability accelerator, launched in 2021 and operated by state energy company Bord na Móna in partnership with Resolve Partners and ERINN Innovation, part-funded by the European Commission's LIFE Programme and a €5M Bord na Móna commitment. Based at a dedicated hub beside Lough Boora in Co. Offaly, it takes no equity and runs an eight-module series of residential workshops, mentoring and site visits over roughly four months, culminating in a public showcase conference. The programme runs two tracks — GROW for established climate-focused SMEs and START for early-stage founders — and gives participants access to Bord na Móna as a reference customer and pilot partner. Focus sectors span renewable energy, circular economy, carbon capture, sustainable agriculture and low-carbon mobility across the island of Ireland. Since 2022 it has supported 60+ companies across five cohorts, with alumni including EpiSensor, CameraMatics, Hibra Design and Volta Robotics.
