POWERED BY SHELL & COGX
By 2050, the world’s population could grow by 2 billion and reach 9.7 billion. 70% of the population is expected to live in cities. As the world continues to urbanise, we need to address the way cities produce and use energy, to address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and allow society to successfully accelerate the energy transition.
The innovative technologies, such as data science, machine learning, Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and AI, offered by the start-up community, are leading the pathway to a cleaner-energy future for cities. Shell, together with CogX, is looking for this kind of novel, out-of-the-box solutions to systematically integrate the energy generation and storage in cities, on a significant scale.
If you are a start-up working on the next big idea that could revolutionise the way we decarbonise cities, this challenge is for you.
This competition will provide you with an excellent opportunity to pitch your start-up to a jury of experts and investors at COGX 2022 festival in London.

Digitalisation will play a vital role in helping the energy industry to tackle climate change. It is helping Shell to accelerate towards our target of becoming a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050, in step with society’s progress towards achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. Shell.ai is a programme to advance AI across Shell and the energy industry, building collaborative ecosystems, leading cutting edge research and driving industry standards.
Are you passionate about novel solutions that could impact the energy future? Sign up for our digital and AI competitions.
We work with start-ups on unproven early-stage ideas with the potential to impact the future of energy.
We analysed six city archetypes to better understand the changing world and created scenarios for how individual cities might evolve and become more efficient.
We invest, either as a venture capitalist or development partner, in companies to co-develop novel technologies relevant to our business.
We are an accelerator programme that supports energy related startups which address global critical socio-economic causes. The programme helps them to succeed as a business, or pivot and rapidly scale.
