We will support businesses that offer innovative, sustainable solutions tackling water, sanitation, waste, agriculture or innovative energy and efficiency challenges.

Applicants should be based in, operate in or plan to operate in Amman, Irbid, Mafraq, and/orZarqa.Additionally, high-potential enterprises may be included if they agree to conduct pilot work as part of their acceleration journey in one of the specified areas.

We will support businesses with a proven track record, an established customer base, and recurring sales. Our focus is on businesses that have demonstrated growth and stability in their operations.

We will only work with organizations that use a market-based approach to solving sustainability challenges. Businesses must have a clear revenue model, and we will not engage with donation-driven NGOs.

We will prioritize dedicated team players and organizations that are structured and managed in a smart way. Preference will be given to teams that include refugees, women, and youth, or are led by these groups, as this diversity brings valuable perspectives to the business.

We will prioritize businesses that directly or indirectly improve services or support sustainable consumption and production, especially benefitting vulnerable groups including low-income customer segments, youth and/or women.

We are looking for businesses with a hunger to scale, a long-term strategic vision and innovative ideas on how to attain such a vision.

Participation in the GGGI Cewas Green Accelerator Jordan Programme is a time-intensive endeavour and will require an average of 4 hours of dedication per week, with even more commitment during peak moments of the programme (e.g. acceleration bootcamp, technical assistance, etc.). In addition, participants must be present full-time for certain programme components – such as the face-to-face bootcamp in Jordan, which will last 4 full days in a row. The programme runs from January 2025 to June 2025. However, the journey does not end when the programme concludes. We will continue to offer ongoing support through activities like leadership workshops, networking opportunities, and more, to help you build lasting connections and keep growing beyond the programme’s official end.

Participation in the programme itself is free of cost. This means all direct costs related to participation in the acceleration programme—such as trainings, networking events, and coaching sessions—are covered by us(applies for costs of one participating person per enterprise). A minor cost-sharing fee of USD 100 will be collected per enterprise for the face-to-face bootcamp in Jordan.Enterprises that want to participate with more than one person will have to cover corresponding additional costs.
In addition to the programme support, participants have the opportunity to access up to USD 20,000 in catalytic grants. This fund is available exclusively for the transformation project developed during the programme. Admission to the programme does not automatically grant access to the catalytic grant, grant will be awarded based on a separate application co-developed together with our team during the programme.

Working with us is intense and we need your CEO or an adequate representation (e.g. Co-founder, business development director, etc.) of your management team to participate as single point of contact during the entire duration of the programme, especially for key events (bootcamps, pitching events, etc.). Please consider the programme overview (see above).
