The Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC) has announced the eleven start-ups selected for its 2025 TechX Clean Energy Accelerator, including CGEN Engineering, which is developing a lightweight, modular generator system to reduce costs, simplify maintenance, and enhance scalability for the wind sector.
Each start-up will receive a share of £500,000 in funding, mentorship, and access to NZTC’s industry network. The 18-week programme, backed by ConocoPhillips, aims to fast-track clean energy technologies towards market deployment.
Other selected companies are working on solutions in energy storage, alternative fuels, carbon capture, and digital optimisation. The programme will conclude with a Demo Day, offering participants the chance to pitch to investors and industry leaders. All of the start-ups in the 2025 TechX cohort are UK based.
