Berytech has launched a joint accelerator cohort bringing together the eighth batch of its Agrytech Accelerator and the fifth batch of its Clyntech Accelerator.
The program includes 14 startups working across agrifood and cleantech. For the first time, the ventures will move through much of the program as a single cohort, while continuing to receive sector-specific support.
Over six months, founders will work on validating their solutions, strengthening their business models and preparing for growth through workshops, technical clinics, mentoring and business coaching. Selected startups will then enter a further four-month incubation phase focused on developing and commercializing their innovations.
The cohort includes ventures developing AI-powered pollination drones, indoor-grown mushrooms, livestock management software, recycled PET fibers, food traceability tools and circular olive oil products. Other startups are working on feather-waste-derived ingredients, smart food scanning, digital wardrobes and meals for infants and toddlers.
According to Berytech, the shared format is designed to help founders exchange knowledge across sectors, identify potential synergies and access its network of mentors, investors, industry experts and corporate partners. Elise Sfeir, program manager, said the combined cohort aims to create an environment where different experiences and perspectives can shape new ideas.
