Innovative climate solutions take center stage as 19 tech startups join Sting

Launching this fall, Accelerate ClimateTech is the latest addition to Sting's lineup. This initiative is a cornerstone of Sting's new Climate Action commitment, where the organization has committed to accelerate the growth of a hundred Swedish climate startups over the next four years. This will further solidify Sting's position as the leading incubator in the Nordic region within the climate sector.

— In a time when our planet is facing severe challenges, it's inspiring to see these tech startups craft the climate solutions of tomorrow. We’re the leading accelerator in the Nordic region with the highest number of ClimateTech startups under our wing, and we eagerly anticipate supporting and guiding even more climate-focused companies on their journey from vision to reality, says Karin Ruiz, Sting's ClimateTech Lead.

Throughout this fall, the selected companies joining Sting will have access to coaching, workshops, investor meetings, and support in various domains – including financing and recruitment. Furthermore, they’ll become a part of Sting's vibrant community (consisting of hundreds of alumni, peers, mentors, investors, and industry contacts). In addition, all those admitted to Sting's Accelerate program will be offered an investment of 500 000 SEK from Propel Capital.

From sustainable forestry to innovative energy management

One of the new companies that have been accepted into Sting's Accelerate ClimateTech this fall is Nabla Analytics. They have developed an optimization solution that aids energy trading firms in minimizing risk and enhancing profits in their renewable energy transactions.

– Energy markets are becoming more volatile and less predictable. This makes it particularly difficult to effectively trade variable resources like wind and solar. To alleviate this problem, we have developed our Asset Optimisation solution which helps traders of renewable energy to reduce their risk and stimulate further investment in renewables. We are thrilled to become a part of Sting and gain access to their world-class expertise and extensive network. With their help we want to further refine and scale our offering across several European countries while retaining our focus on impact-driven solutions, says Warren O'Neill from Nabla Analytics.

Another exciting company this fall is Hyggligt, which assists forest owners in adopting a clear-cutting-free approach to forestry.

– One should not have to choose between economic profitability and sustainable forestry. With the assistance of image analysis and our optimization model, we help forest owners transition to clear-cut-free forestry while simultaneously increasing income from timber harvesting. With expertise, networks, and resources from Sting Accelerate ClimateTech, we will lead the forest industry's transition towards sustainable forestry, says Edith Heppich, CEO and co-founder of Hyggligt.
