Global partnerships are a big part of what makes Ara Ake tick. They allow us to connect New Zealand energy innovators with international stakeholders – giving them access to world-class equipment, lab facilities, specialist services, and subject matter expertise.
That’s why we’re excited to announce a new global partnership with Undaunted – a UK-based hub for climate innovation that supports startups and SMEs tackling climate change through entrepreneurship and acceleration.
Undaunted’s mission: to back bold ideas that can drive the transition to a low-emissions future.
Through this partnership, Ara Ake joins a global network of innovation supporters – opening the door for New Zealand energy startups scaling at speed to access a wider pool of experts, infrastructure, customers, funders, and markets when they join any accelerator in the network.
“The Earthshot Prize is excited to be collaborating with Undaunted at Imperial to help startups access the expert advice, technical resources, investment, customers, and new markets they need to scale and grow. We welcome Ara Ake joining this initiative, leveraging its leadership in energy innovation, to enhance the connections between innovators and the entities that are key to their success –investors, industry, and regulators.” Chris Large, Senior Director of Prize and Portfolio, Earthshot Prize
This global network is powered by The Earthshot Prize and Undaunted at Imperial College London, with founding members based in current and former Earthshot Prize host cities. These accelerators are already delivering world-class support to green innovators across the globe – check out the map below.
