The organizations will collaborate to provide industry expertise and resources for program participants while strengthening the startup ecosystem.

Greentown Labs, the largest climatetech and energy startup incubator in the world, and MassChallenge, the global network for innovators solving massive challenges, announced a collaborative partnership to amplify the impact of early-stage climatetech startups by expanding their access to specialized support, expert mentorship, and high-value commercialization networks.

Through this strategic partnership, MassChallenge and Greentown Labs will nurture more climate startups, broaden their networks of expert mentors and judges, and build a stronger bridge between their respective communities of entrepreneurs, partners, investors, philanthropists, and other champions. MassChallenge recently debuted its first climate-specific program, complementing its programs in healthcare, security and resiliency, fintech, and sustainable food systems. This strategic partnership will bring Greentown Labs’ complementary network, expertise, and unique facilities to bear to serve as a force multiplier for the 23 startups in the 2025 MassChallenge Early Stage Climate program.
