For Innovate UK’s global incubator programme total of eight UK-based climate technology startups have been selected and will be seen at Brooklyn on September 15-19, 2025, for a learning week to head up for the United States market entry program lasting for six months. NYU Tandon School of Engineering’s urban future lab (UFL), a non-profit innovation space considered for its brilliant climatetech startups, will plunge the excellently selected allies in a structured program announced to help them gain appropriate learning and discover the domestic market. For over six years, the UFL has delivered to the US a smooth, secure space for the annual Innovate UK program.
The program helps participants with the availability of the best mentors, sources to partnerships, funding, and customers, as well as a critical, focused cohort curriculum to develop a strong presence in the national markets and New York. The program elevates NYU Tandon’s initiatives in urban, environmental, and industrial sustainability. These are one of the six cross-disciplinary areas to be impacted most where the school smartly navigates its education and research to resolve the modern humanity’s vast challenges.
These impacted areas stand on the existing sustainable engineering initiative by introducing breakthrough technologies that promote sustainability advances throughout the industries while contributing to economic prosperity and improving environmental resilience. From the program’s inception in 2020, around 35 UK climate tech companies have progressively developed US operations via the UFL partnership that recorded 100 smart introductions, strategic transformation, and 20+ US pilots and contracts, and mainly the establishment of US-based offices.
NYU Tandon vice dean for research, Linda Ng Boyle, said, “Our responsibility in Innovate UK is to demonstrate an example of how the universities can deliver as a catalyst for the real-world impact. By cooperating with Tandon’s deep research expertise in specific sustainability engineering with these startups, we’re paving the way to connect market deployment and academic discovery. Our role is beyond just aligning these companies; it's more about accelerating our technical knowledge, industry networks, and research infrastructure to help elevate scalable solutions globally.”
Innovate UK partnership manager, North America and global incubator programme, Jon Hazell said, “Our multi-year growing partnership with UFL unlocks an excellent opportunity to support UK businesses for them to develop new collaborations and understand the USA market, so they continue to scale, grow and innovate globally.”
