Sherwood Power selected for Innovate UK’s Global Incubator Programme in New York
Sherwood Power has been selected for the 2026 Innovate UK Global Incubator Programme, hosted by NYU Tandon School of Engineering’s Urban Future Lab. The programme marks an exciting step in our international growth, supporting us as we explore opportunities for our long-duration energy storage technology in the US.
Starting with an introductory week in New York, the programme provides six months of support to help UK clean technology companies understand the US market and build commercial relationships.
Connecting with New York’s climate technology community
The opening week brings together businesses, investors, policy specialists and potential partners from across New York’s climate technology ecosystem.
For Sherwood Power, it is an opportunity to understand local energy challenges, meet prospective customers and explore where our technology could make a difference. The programme then continues with mentoring, market guidance and introductions to support our next steps.
Taking long-duration energy storage into new markets
Building long-duration energy storage means thinking globally from day one. Our participation reflects that ambition and represents another milestone in taking Sherwood Power’s technology into international markets.
Our Free Air Bank is designed to store renewable energy on site for later use, helping businesses make more of their renewable generation and manage energy costs. Exploring new markets means understanding how those capabilities fit local customer needs, infrastructure and commercial conditions.
The programme gives us a valuable opportunity to develop that understanding in the US and build relationships that could support future projects.
Building relationships for the next stage
We are delighted to join a cohort of UK innovators working on challenges across clean energy, storage and building efficiency.
Thank you to Innovate UK and the Urban Future Lab team for the opportunity. We look forward to working with the other participating companies and sharing updates as the programme progresses.
