Breathable Cities is the largest startup accelerator programme dedicated to helping early-stage technology focused startups raise investment.
Between June and September 2023, our first cohort of 11 startups worked with industry, government and investors to validate their business models, refine their solutions and prepare to fundraise. They launched their innovations at the Breathable Cities Demo Day on 11 October 2023.
Our mission is to help build successful investable businesses that make a direct impact on the air that we breathe

The Breathable Cities accelerator programme celebrated its finale in October 2023. We graduated and launched 11 air quality startups into the investment ecosystem and local London testbeds.
As a mission to combat air pollution and its disastrous human health effects, this has been a first of its kind programme, imbued with passion, pace and personal pride. 14 weeks of intense workshops, and 80 hours of customised support.
We designed Breathable Cities to ignite change and meaningful impact. It’s about rapid and necessary innovation focused on cleaning up the air we breathe – both outdoors and indoors.

“All Londoners should be able to breathe clean air, which is why the Mayor is delivering an ambitious package of measures to tackle the capital’s air pollution. Local communities and businesses also have a vital role to play, and I am delighted to congratulate all the clean air startups on their efforts in tackling the effects of toxic air, alongside Growth Studio and Impact on Urban Health for creating this exciting programme.”
