Forge.Fast

Forge.Fast is bought by industrial companies, not applied to by founders. It is listed here because a startup can end up inside it, and because founders often ask what it is.

What you get, if a corporate brings you in:

• Product and venture acceleration with guidance from the industrial company, tracked by milestones and metrics
• Grant support from the corporate for hardware product development, commercialisation and growth, which Forge notes can come with the corporate taking intellectual property or hiring the team
• A demo or pilot with the company to prove the business case for factory-wide adoption
• Excubate, which spins the corporate's own innovation projects out into ventures

Who can apply

• There is no public intake. Sourcing and selection of technology partners is run by a programme office for the corporate client

How to apply: Not applicable for founders. Corporates enquire through Forge's general contact page.
