About Acceleration Programme
The Acceleration Programme is for startups past the building stage that need to grow. It is a four-month structured programme in which industry experts work through the business, the product, the markets and the sales strategy, and revisit operations and processes. The focus is business development, and the programme ends with a Demo Day.
What you get
- In-depth support on scaling the technology, market segmentation, user-persona development and regulatory guidance
- Expert analysis of business, product, market and sales strategy
- Close work with the incubator's corporate partners
- International market access
- A Demo Day
Who can apply
- Registered companies
- With a working product or solution
- With a complete team
- At least six months in existence — note the page's own shortlisting list contradicts this, so ask if you are close to the line
How selection works: applications are collected, then evaluated and shortlisted on year of establishment, the founders' background, how scalable the solution is, why you want to join, and whether you can add value to the rest of the cohort.
