GlobalGreenchem
ACCELERATOR
What do shrimp probiotics, phosphate-free laundry detergent, and adhesives from recycled leather waste have in common? Across six countries and four continents, this program is putting green chemistry in the hands of entrepreneurs, researchers, and innovators who are closest to the problems it tries to solve. The Global Greenchem Innovation and Network Program (GGINP) - a joint initiative of Yale University's Center for Green Chemistry & Green Engineering, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and the Global Environment Facility - completed the first cycle 2025 in Indonesia, Jordan, Peru, Serbia, Uganda, and Ukraine, reaching nearly 600 applicants and directly engaging over 500 participants.
Knowledge and innovation are powerful together, but they need to find traction to be translated into real applications. We focus on exactly that: identifying promising green chemistry technologies, bringing them into the limelight through necessary mentorship, valuable expert knowledge, and by leveraging financial support. Our partners in Indonesia, Jordan, Peru, Serbia, Uganda, and Ukraine are National Cleaner Production Centers -NCPCs.
The Global Greenchem ACCELERATOR 2026 is in full swing!
While the Calls for Application 2026 are already closed, we invite you to read further on the respective channels of our partners in Jakarta, Amman, Lima, Belgrade, Kampala and Kyiv.
Stay tuned, be creative, innovate!
