Mega Green Accelerator

The Mega Green Accelerator program is a new initiative to nurture the next generation of MENA innovators as they develop solutions to both regional and global sustainability challenges. In recent years, the Middle East has witnessed a significant increase in temperatures, presenting a unique opportunity for proactive initiatives in sustainable innovation. Despite the region's accelerated warming, the current support and investment in the sustainability innovation ecosystem have not fully embraced the potential for growth and positive change. Recognizing this untapped potential, the program aims to bridge this gap and catalyze a surge in climate technology startups within the MENA region, fostering a collaborative environment that nurtures innovation and addresses the urgent sustainability challenges specific to the region, creating diverse and scalable solutions. PepsiCo and SABIC, alongside 12 strategic partners is launching the Mega Green Accelerator to combat this issue. The priority focus areas for the first round of the Accelerator program include circular economy, clean energy transitions,and food security, water and agriculture. In addition to seed funding and mentorship, the partners will provide participating entrepreneurs access to some of the most prominent business leaders in the region.
