Beyond Beta: CleanTech acceleration for startups

Date

5. FEB–5. MAR 2026

Location

All of Denmark

Are you ready to scale your startup with Beyond Beta and get off the ground?

We have once again opened applications for Denmark’s largest acceleration program for water and environmental technology startups – and you can join!

This time it’s round 14, where opportunities are open for you. We don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach. We believe that every startup is unique and needs tailored guidance. Through Beyond Beta, that’s exactly what you get. You’ll receive help from industry experts through a customized program, preparing you for growth and strengthening your business.

We make sure you gain access to a strong network within water and environmental technology, helping you towards rapid scaling.

What do I get out of Beyond Beta?

In addition to the opportunity for a strong network and potentially a meeting with investors, you also get:

    • Tools to scale your business
    • Workshops on creating a pitch that stands out
    • Fast-track to top-tier knowledge
    • Workshops relevant to scaling your startup

Criteria

We are looking for ambitious startups, but there are a few criteria:

  • Have a CVR number that is no more than 7 years old at the time of application.
  • Ideally have your first users or customers, or at minimum an MVP (minimum viable product) that can be launched within the program’s duration.
  • Have a scalable business model that you want to see grow into the international market.
  • A dedicated founder team.

Your application will be evaluated by three experienced mentors and business developers. The evaluation will be based on whether your target market is attractive, your product’s solution, your startup’s competencies, and whether you are ready to scale.

 

If you have questions or need help with the application, you are always welcome to contact our Startup Navigator, Henrik Nørgaard.

 

Beyond Beta is co-financed by the European Union and the Danish Board of Business Development.
