The Accelerator Program for Sustainable Finance by Commerzbank in collaboration with Tenity and neosfer selected their first 10 Sustainable Finance Startups. 

With Pelt8, also one Swiss Startup made the cut.

This initiative aims to evaluate and accelerate a potential collaboration with Commerzbank through an organized and efficient process in Frankfurt.

The selected startups represent a diverse range of innovative approaches. Each brings a unique solution in various sustainability areas such as biodiversity/climate data, real estate/renovation management, supplier management, and corporate mobility. 

Bettina Storck, Head of Group Sustainability Management at Commerzbank, says:

“Sustainability is an integral part of our strategy, our aim is to become a net zero bank by 2050 at the latest. Both new ideas and innovative approaches help us advance this topic, particularly in the area of sustainable finance. We’re pleased to support the Joint Innovation Accelerator Program for Sustainable Finance and look forward to collaborating with the selected start-ups to bring expertise and innovation together.”

This program includes sessions and events uniquely tailored to enable collaborations, from open exchanges, to use case definition, PoC roadmap preparation, PoC validation, fundraising, growth hacking, as well as pitch training. The program will conclude with Demo Day on 30 October 2024 at the Impact Festival in Frankfurt.
