ERIA has opened applications for the third edition of its acceleration program for energy startups, aimed at pre-seed and seed stage companies developing innovative solutions in renewable generation, electricity distribution, and energy services.

The six-month, equity-free program will select four startups to receive mentoring and strategic support. Each startup will have mentors from the Áticco Lab network and an energy specialist mentor from Estabanell, as well as participate in a Growth Bootcamp in Barcelona to define their growth plan.

The call presents four innovation challenges focused on:

• advanced maintenance of photovoltaic plants

• new digital services for the electricity grid

• compact home batteries

• home energy microflexibility solutions

At the end of the program, startups will be able to validate their technology through pilot tests or proof of concept (PoC) using the Estabanell Group’s infrastructure. In addition, the startup with the best progress will receive a €10,000 prize.

Interested startups can submit their application by April 13, 2026, by completing the following form:
