The Impact Accelerator is a fully-funded program helping marine businesses identify, reduce, and communicate their environmental impact – backed by data, strategy, and a support network.
Whether you’re developing:
- Zero-emission or low-impact vessels
- Novel composite materials
- Sustainable manufacturing processes
- Circular economy or sustainable ownership models
- Or any scalable solution that reduces environmental impact…
…then you should apply for MarineShift360.
The program also welcomes applications from marine organisations seeking to reduce the impact of their own operations and set an example for the rest of the industry. Your leadership can inspire systemic change across the sector.
The marine industry is under increasing pressure to decarbonise, but many companies face challenges in accessing the expertise, tools, and resources needed to make meaningful change. The MarineShift360 Impact Accelerator is designed to break down those barriers and support ambitious marine businesses in becoming sustainability leaders.
Over a one-year programme, selected companies receive free, hands-on support from industry-leading sustainability experts, access to award-winning lifecycle assessment tools, and the opportunity to connect with a like-minded network. Together with the program, you’ll identify environmental hotspots, build practical strategies, and implement real-world solutions to lower environmental impact across operations, products, and supply chains.
This is not a consultancy or a course – it’s a catalyst for transformation.
What The Program Includes
- Bespoke Sustainability Support
Each company receives tailored consultancy from marine industry sustainability professionals. This could include lifecycle assessments (LCAs), ESG strategy development, sustainable material and manufacturing advice, supply chain optimisation, and more. - Funded Internship
A 6-12 week, fully funded internship gives each project the benefit of fresh thinking from the next generation of sustainability leaders. Interns bring creativity, critical thinking, and hands-on support to accelerate project delivery. - Access to the MarineShift360 LCA Tool
Participants receive full access to the MarineShift360 lifecycle assessment tool, designed specifically for the marine industry. From single components to whole vessels, it allows companies to identify environmental hotspots and compare design options based on real impact data. - Collaborative Network
The Accelerator community connects like-minded innovators, suppliers, and change makers working toward a net-zero marine industry. It’s a space to share insights, collaborate on solutions, and amplify impact.
