Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) will launch new startup accelerator program, aiming to promote efforts for decarbonization.
Specifically, MC and NYK will collaborate with Startupbootcamp Australia (SBC Australia), in a program that aims to scout and support promising startups with disruptive technologies and business ideas to solve problems in the energy and resource sectors.
MC and NYK have also already cooperated with several startups that have invested in decarbonization, however, their new program will provide them with a joint platform to research the latest trends in decarbonization and opportunities to collaborate with emerging startups.
The partners expect to run several program cycles to accelerate a significant number of startups.
As global efforts to decarbonize gain momentum, MC and NYK are demonstrating their commitment to the realization of sustainable societies by applying their know-how in resources, energy and business development to support the swift growth of promising and unconventional startups in the energy sector
