Overview
RESPOND is the BMW Foundation's global platform for entrepreneurs developing solutions that create environmental, economic, and societal impact. The RESPOND Accelerator is a six-month, online-first program that includes coaching, mentoring, and access to a network of investors and corporates. It is free of charge, takes no equity, and covers travel costs for founders attending in-person events. In 2026, RESPOND expanded into two tracks: RESPOND Accelerator Energy for clean-tech entrepreneurs and RESPOND Accelerator Urban for urban-tech founders. The program aims to support early-stage high-impact ventures ready to scale.
