EcoRoh, an eight-week acceleration program designed for entrepreneurs building businesses around environmentally friendly products and services, has opened applications for its latest cohort. The program is backed by the Swiss Government through Accelerate Prosperity and is targeted at founders who are either launching or developing ventures in the green economy space, with a deadline of May 20 for interested applicants.

The program is structured around four core areas of development: finalising the eco-product, refining the business model, deepening market understanding, and preparing the venture for further growth. Rather than offering a broad curriculum across multiple disciplines, EcoRoh concentrates its eight weeks on the specific challenges that green businesses face at the early stage, where the tension between environmental impact and commercial viability is most acutely felt and least well supported by conventional acceleration models.

For founders working in sustainable products and services, the structured nature of the program addresses a gap that general-purpose accelerators rarely fill,  the need to validate not just the business case but the environmental proposition, and to understand how those two dimensions interact in a market where green consumer behaviour is still forming. The eight-week timeline is intentionally intensive, designed to move participants from refinement to readiness within a single cohort cycle.

Entrepreneurs interested in applying can submit their applications through the official form at the link shared in EcoRoh’s announcement before the May 20 deadline.
