Selection for the 2026 Amazon Devices Climate Tech Accelerator
Following a Finalist Showcase in Hong Kong and a formal announcement at Plug and Play’s Silicon Valley Summit, XLYNX Materials has been selected for the 2026 cohort of the Amazon Devices Climate Tech Accelerator.
As one of 15 companies chosen for this cohort, we are entering a high-intensity program designed to identify technologies that can reduce the carbon impact of devices used by millions of customers. For a company like XLYNX, the scale of this opportunity is transformative. The program is designed to condense a traditional three-year enterprise business development cycle into just six months, providing a direct pathway to technical and commercial validation.
Advanced Manufacturing and Sustainability
Our participation in the program focuses on our PFAS-free covalent priming solutions. In our industry, we often see a perceived trade-off between performance and sustainability, but our experience in Hong Kong reinforced that these goals are inextricably linked.
“I learned that mitigating climate impact is aligned with making better devices that both improve the customer experience and advanced manufacturing processes,” says Robert Niven, CEO of XLYNX Materials. “This program will validate how XLYNX’s breakthrough diazirine crosslinking chemistry can mitigate both embodied and operational CO2 emissions while also raising the performance standards required for next-generation consumer electronics.”
The Road to October
Over the next several months, the XLYNX team will work with subject matter experts from the Amazon Devices Climate Tech Accelerator to build detailed integration plans. This phase will culminate in October, when we will have the opportunity to pitch XLYNX to Amazon Devices & Services Senior Leadership.
Along the way, we are also looking forward to the peer learning and collaboration opportunities that come with being part of such a diverse and innovative cohort. While the 15 companies represent a wide range of solutions—from energy efficiency to circularity—the common goal of reducing environmental impact across the devices supply chain is a powerful driver for innovation.
Congratulations to our fellow cohort members; we look forward to working alongside you.
