Bord na Móna is issuing a final call for applications to its Accelerate Green GROW programme, a leading accelerator programme designed to support the growth of sustainable enterprises in Ireland. The closing date for applications is fast approaching, with submissions due by November 22nd.

Accelerate Green GROW is delivered by Bord na Móna in conjunction with Resolve Partners to equip promising Irish business owners with the skills and knowledge to scale their companies in Ireland and beyond.

Accelerate Green GROW will commence in January 2025 and is suitable for early-stage enterprises, innovative start-ups and SMEs looking to scale or pivot. The successful applicants will be brought through a series of immersive learning sessions delivered by industry leaders, entrepreneurs, potential investors and successful Irish business representatives, and receive invaluable business insights from the Bord na Móna leadership team.

Since its launch in 2022, 50 businesses have successfully participated in the Accelerate Green programmes. Many former participants have reported significant and sustainable progress in their companies since completing the programmes and the alumni have collectively raised €10 million in venture capital to date. According to recent research* among the Accelerate Green alumni, over 90% of past participants have more confidence in their ability as business leaders to scale their companies successfully. Additionally, 75% of past participants have grown their workforce since completing the programme and three in four have scaled their business operations in Ireland.
