Stanford Sustainability Accelerator Fellowship
Developing sustainability entrepreneurs
The Stanford Sustainability Accelerator Fellowship is designed to empower and support innovators to launch scalable real-world technology and policy solutions in to the real world.
We seek highly driven problem solvers with a global mindset to tackle our most pressing sustainability challenges. We believe that the most impactful approaches draw on multiple disciplines and perspectives. We strive to build a diverse cohort of fellows that includes policy, technology, and business.
The 2025 fellowship will be focused on our flagship destinations: greenhouse gas removal, climate adaptation, planetary intelligence, electricity and grid systems, industry, food and agriculture, water, and biological solutions for sustainability.
The Accelerator is interested in projects that address key challenges at scale across specific themes within each flagship destination and crosscutting platform. For more information about specific themes, please read more here.
