Overview

The New York Climate Exchange Climate Tech Fellowship 2026 is a six-month hybrid program designed to support early-stage researchers, scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs. The program focuses on innovations at the intersection of Energy and Urban Resilience, helping participants bridge the gap between research and commercialization.

Coverage

Selected teams receive a $10,000 non-dilutive stipend. The fellowship also covers travel and accommodation for one team member to attend Climate Week NYC in September 2026. Participants gain access to a structured commercialization curriculum, one-on-one mentorship, and networking opportunities with investors and policymakers.

Eligibility

The program is open to innovators from all countries. Applicants can be individuals or teams. University or institutional affiliation is not required, and company incorporation is not mandatory. Projects should be at the prototype, early pilot, research, or early commercialization stage.

Requirements

Applicants must be working on climate technologies related to Energy and Urban Resilience (e.g., grid modernization, intelligent buildings, green infrastructure). Participants must commit several hours per week for six months and attend in-person activities during Climate Week NYC in September 2026.

How to apply

Interested applicants should visit the official New York Climate Exchange website to access the application portal. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so early submission is encouraged.

Notes

The program runs from September 2026 to February 2027. The fellowship specifically encourages applications from innovators belonging to underrepresented backgrounds.
