The marine sector is under growing pressure to decarbonise—and the need for bold, scalable solutions has never been greater. That’s why we are excited to announce that applications for the 2026 MarineShift360 Impact Accelerator are officially OPEN!

Why Apply?

The Impact Accelerator is a fully funded, 10-month programme designed to remove barriers to action and empower marine companies to accelerate their sustainability journey. Unlike a consultancy or course, this programme is a catalyst for transformation—helping you unlock practical pathways to real impact.

As part of the 2026 cohort, your organisation will receive:

• Bespoke sustainability support: Hands-on consultancy with marine experts covering lifecycle assessments, ESG strategy, sustainable materials, and supply chain optimisation.
• A fully funded internship: 6–12 weeks of support from the next generation of sustainability leaders.
• Access to the MarineShift360 LCA Tool: A powerful, marine-specific tool to measure and model the environmental impact of your products or operations.
• Collaborative community: Join a network of innovators, suppliers, and change-makers to share insights and accelerate sector-wide change

Who Should Apply?

We’re looking for marine companies and organisations with pioneering solutions that can genuinely reduce environmental impact. If your business is developing or scaling:

• Zero-emission or low-impact vessels
• Innovative, low-impact materials
• Sustainable manufacturing methods
• Circular economy or ownership models

…then this programme is for you.

We also welcome applications from organisations striving to reduce the footprint of their operations and inspire systemic change!

What We Expect

This is a two-way commitment. Selected participants will:

• Dedicate time and resources for 10 months
• Provide an internal team to collaborate with our experts and interns
• Be open to sharing knowledge within the Accelerator community
• Publicly share outcomes to inspire wider sector change
