No, InnoEnergy and Rockstart do not run ONE program together. However, EnergyXL is a joint
initiative where they cooperate with each other and work together. In this edition, startups can
apply for the InnoEnergy program to receive tailor-made offers according to their needs and
growth stage.
During the programs InnoEnergy and Rockstart will work together and collaborate where needed to support the startups, e.g. during the program of InnoEnergy (that is what you apply for this time), Rockstart will support a startup on a specific topic or an event will happen at Rockstart’s location. Additionally, the applications will be shared between the partners and by this Rockstart will give also attention to your business.
InnoEnergy and Rockstart will review the applications individually. Rockstart will screen them
already for interesting startups for their program at the end of the year. InnoEnergy will shortlist the best startups who will go through the Opportunity Assessment (Market, Technology, and Team Assessments) and will also be invited for the Selection Days. During the Selection Days, InnoEnergy will choose the startups they want to bring into their programs.
The online office hour provides the opportunity for startups to ask questions about the programs of the different EnergyXL partners. By following one-hour slots for each program, the startups have the possibility to interact with all program teams.
For the InnoEnergy program, you will need to read & accept the terms and conditions before being considered in the review process.
For the InnoEnergy program the amount of equity will be decided after the opportunity assessment. The amount of equity will be based on the opportunity assessment, current valuation, forecasted future valuation, and discussions with the startups on their specific needs.
Yes, there will be multiple winners to join the InnoEnergy Highway program but only one Grand Prize winner. All winners will need to agree to the terms and conditions.
