In this joint effort, Acumen and Apple will assist social enterprises in enhancing their quality of life through the implementation of clean energy advancements.

Acumen experts will work with the “Energy for Livelihoods Accelerator” in a 12-week program designed to help social entrepreneurs “scale and refine their business.” And this would help people in poverty to build a better life and promote a clean and sustainable life through clean energy.

Apple notes that all managers of social enterprises with a clear environmental mission can apply for the program until July 24.

“Apple is committed to helping ensure that everyone can share in the benefits of a greener economy,” said Sarah Chandler, Apple’s vice president of environmental and supply chain innovation. “We showcase the transformative potential of clean energy in everything we do, and we’re excited to support social innovators who share this goal.”

“For over 20 years, Acumen has invested in early-stage social enterprises that address poverty in India, and some of our most innovative recent investments have been at the intersection of energy access and livelihoods,” said Mahesh Yagnaraman, Acumen’s head of India. .

He added, “We are excited to partner with Apple to continue building an ecosystem of scalable social enterprises in India committed to improving livelihoods through sustainable energy.”

Additional benefits of participating in the Apple-Acumen program include access to a supportive network of peers, instructors and mentors. In addition, upon graduation, participants will become part of Acumen Academy’s global The Foundry community and will be eligible for technical assistance and seed investment from Acumen’s Pioneer Energy Investment Initiative (PEII+).
