Amazon Devices Climate Tech Accelerator
The Amazon Devices Climate Tech Accelerator is an equity-free 16-week program to help climate tech companies fast track their innovations into millions of Amazon devices worldwide.
The 2025 cohort has been selected.
Meet the innovators participating in the 2025 cohort
We have selected 14 companies with technologies that aim to reduce the carbon impact of how Amazon devices are built, powered, and used. This year’s cohort includes next-generation battery technologies such as lithium-sulfur and silicon-anode chemistries, as well as solid-state thermal systems designed to improve energy storage and transfer. Companies are also advancing low-carbon materials, including compostable foams and recycled polymers, alongside new approaches to printed circuit boards—like copper-based conductive inks, biodegradable substrates, and additive manufacturing techniques. Additionally, energy efficiency innovations include AI-enabled sensors and laser-enhanced heat sink surfaces. Rounding out the group are low-power display technologies that deliver meaningful energy savings without compromising experience. Together, these innovations represent bold ideas with the potential to advance and scale more sustainable product design.

Ready to scale to millions of Amazon devices?
The Amazon Devices Climate Tech Accelerator is your launchpad to transforming the future of consumer electronics. Each program begins with an intensive bootcamp where the selected cohort works with Amazon and Industry mentors to craft a winning pitch to Amazon Devices and Services decision makers. Selected innovators then work with Amazon’s technical experts to validate their solutions and assess deployment potential. The program culminates in the company’s breakout moment: A final pitch to Amazon Devices and Services leaders that can green light commercial and technical discussions to access millions of Amazon customers!
Focus areas
- Energy efficiency
-
Innovations that can reduce energy needs on displays, cameras, and speakers. Specific areas of focus are sensors, microphones, networking equipment, and other components impacting power consumption.
- Displays
-
Innovations that can decarbonize displays or the components that support them across initial design, manufacturing, customer usage, and recycling.
- Device Batteries
-
Innovations for Amazon device batteries that can increase recycled content, promote efficiency, extend battery life, and/or reduce their manufacturing footprint.
- Low Carbon Materials
-
Innovative materials such as carbon-captured polyoxymethylene (CPOM), bioplastics, recycled carbon fiber, and bio-based polymers, recycled metals, and recycled alloys.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
-
Innovations that can unlock new pathways to optimize product designs, extend device lifespans, and enable more energy-efficient customer product use.
- Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)
-
Innovations for PCBs that can increase recyclability, reuse, and waste reduction such as biodegradable PCBs and additive manufacturing processes.
- Circularity
-
Innovations that can facilitate Amazon's shift towards closed-loop materials management and a more circular economy for its devices and packaging such as product lifetime expansion, recyclability, and component reuse.
- Devices Decarbonization Wildcard
-
Although the above are our primary focus areas, we are excited about other emerging decarbonization innovations for consumer electronics.
