We need to move
towards climate neutrality.
Seedgreen aims to provide participants with a space for climate action. We validate and accelerate promising ideas into green solutions.

This five-month programme is an initiative by the Ministry of the Environment, Climate Change and Planning (MECP), Junior Chamber International Malta (JCI Malta) and supported by Malta Enterprise as part of the national #ClimateOn campaign.
Intro
This initiative is an equity-free mentor-driven validator and accelerator programme.
We strive to raise awareness. The choices we make today will influence the kind of planet our children and grandchildren inherit. Our goal is to invite startup participants to execute a tangible proof-of-concept project based on an early-stage prototype. The top three solutions will receive a pre-seed investment to turn green ideas into innovative low-carbon business undertakings.

events and training from MECP and JCI Malta.

Scope
Let's drive the market to better and greener solutions.
Climate change can seem like a problem that is either too big – or too far ahead – to mitigate. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, we seek participants who want to step up and help lead Malta to climate neutrality. Seedgreen will be open to individuals that can successfully build scalable low-carbon startups in one of our eight main priority areas.
Eligibility
We are open to the upcoming
generation of green innovators.
Even though we are one of the smallest island nations worldwide, we can still offer new business models that get us from the tools we currently rely on to a set of robust innovations that transition us towards a more sustainable society. We want pursuits that try to create clean, affordable products and services that benefit both our economy and the environment.
Initiative
It's time to take collective
action against climate change.
Early support for entrepreneurs is fundamental. Seedgreen will be broken down into two separate stages: Validator and Accelerator.
