Applications are now OPEN for the 2022 Accelerator!


The TBC Accelerator seeks to amplify and accelerate business models for low-income markets that operate within the Sanitation Economy – especially in the areas of toilet product & service innovation, circular economy sanitation waste management, digital applications for sanitation. Specifically, we look for:
  • Sanitation business models that are market-based: The Accelerator programme works with business to optimise their business model, proving the viability of profitable and investable sanitation initiatives.
  •  Sanitation businesses that are innovative: From business models to products, demand creation to financing mechanisms, the Toilet Board Coalition accelerates businesses that approach the business of sanitation from a fresh perspective.
  • Sanitation Business models that are scalable: 4.5 billion people do not have access to a safe sustainable sanitation system. To meet this need as quickly as possible, we’re focusing on building market-based sanitation initiatives that can be taken to scale.
