Competition Overview
The new STARSS Technology Accelerator Challenge Fund competition is the latest in a series of challenge funds that the MECS programme has engaged with. Previous funds have prompted innovation, early research, and piloting, all of which seek to rapidly accelerate the transition from biomass to clean cooking, particularly modern energy cooking services, on a global scale. STARSS builds on this progression of interest by inviting organisations to test innovative configurations of existing technology and business models to pilot and demonstrate stand alone or rooftop solar based systems that will be utilized for clean energy cooking.
The total duration will be 10 months with total funding of £58,000.00. We are so pleased to announce the winners of STARSS challenge fund competition; click on each button to read more about the awardees and their projects.
