Calling Rising Green Innovators in Tipperary: Applications for Bord na Móna’s Accelerate Green Programmes are now open

Businesses across the Premier County are being encouraged to apply for Bord na Móna’s Accelerate Green Programmes. The Accelerate Green programmes are delivered by Bord na Móna in conjunction with Resolve Partners with the aim of providing companies with the knowledge and skills required to expand their reach in Ireland and internationally.  

Accelerate Green Grow will begin in January 2025 and as part of this programme successful applicants will be brought through a series of learning sessions led by entrepreneurs, potential investors and leaders in Irish business.  

Accelerate Green Start consists of a series of shorter learning sessions beginning October 10th. This programme is open to newly fledged businesses and beginner entrepreneurs. Modules will cover the areas of customer discovery, market mapping, network development and preparation for investment pitching.  

Speaking about the launch of the Accelerate Green programmes, Tom Donnellan, Chief Executive of Bord na Móna said:  

“We are delighted to open applications for Accelerate Green 2025. Since we first launched Accelerate Green in 2022, we have seen 42 standout, green innovators successfully complete these programmes and continue to thrive in the climate solutions space, both in Ireland and further afield.   

As a business that has undergone its own significant scaling journey and service evolution, transitioning from traditional peat harvesting to renewable energy and climate solutions, we are committed to sharing the invaluable insights we gained with the next generation of sustainable businesses.   

Accelerate Green is a unique and unmissable opportunity for businesses looking to grow and scale in the sustainability sector and I encourage all to apply. I look forward to meeting the newest cohort of Start and Grow participants and to learning more about their unique climate solutions.” 

Applicants for the START programme have until September 19th to apply and applicants for the GROW programme must apply before November 22nd. Applications can be made here
