Terms in plain English
Scale For ClimateTech is a NYSERDA-funded manufacturing accelerator run by SecondMuse for climate hardware companies. There is no cost to participate and the program takes no equity. Support centers on manufacturing mentorship, technical training, and connections to suppliers and manufacturers rather than a cash check. The program does not publish per-company funding amounts.
Who this is actually for
Growth-stage climate hardware companies moving from prototype toward production, especially in buildings, transportation, grid, and industry. The program operates in the greater New York City area and Upstate New York, so it fits companies with a New York State presence or plans to build one.
