ACT | The Alliance for Climate Transition is holding this private, in-person, mid-accelerator bootcamp for its DAC Academy, a program funded by a Department of Energy DAC EPIC prize. This event will include several workshops designed to build market understanding, industry connections, and entrepreneurship skills that will inform business strategies.

The DAC Academy is accelerating seven Direct Air Capture (DAC) startups, helping them move towards commercialization. At the end of the accelerator, five of them will be awarded cash prizes totally $50,000.

The participating startups are at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 3-5, and they are from across the US and around the world.

The Cleantech Open Northeast team at ACT is leading this effort, in collaboration with a team of experts in direct air capture, as well as many disciplines required to commercialize successful cleantech startups.
