Shell Startup Engine is a global acceleration programme to equip start-ups with the skills, connections and industry insights needed to maximise their chances of success by linking them to mentors and global experts from Shell.
The programme culminates in a Demo Day where the start-ups pitch live to investors, corporates and ecosystem partners.
