Bedayat, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) and SEE Institute have announced the Climate Response Sprint 2026 — a challenge-driven acceleration programme designed to identify climate and environmental technology companies whose solutions can deliver measurable outcomes and support deployment in the UAE.

The programme runs in two stages. Ten selected start-ups join a ten-day Sprint Accelerator bootcamp covering impact frameworks, deployment readiness, business model and pitch development, before pitching to government, industry and investment stakeholders. The strongest three to five then enter an advanced six-week programme focused on pilot planning, validation, partnerships and investment readiness.

Applications open on 28 September 2026 and close on 5 October 2026. The programme is open to established start-ups with demonstrated commercial traction; idea-stage and prototype-only projects are not eligible.
