Training and networking programmes

Pre-incubation, incubation and horizontal accelerator programmes

Potential innovative entrepreneurs and innovative start-up companies (start-ups younger than 5 years) can participate in various pre-incubation, incubation, and horizontal acceleration programs, co-financed by the Fund.

These programs are designed and implemented across various business and entrepreneurial content areas, such as:

• Building a scalable business model
• Leadership/management of a start-up company
• Sales acceleration
• Implementation of lean and agile methods in business operations
• Prototyping
• Growth and expansion into (foreign) markets
• And so forth.

Investment Accelerator Programmes

For more mature start-up companies—those that have already entered the market with their innovative product—investment accelerators are also available. These accelerators provide specialized support in obtaining investments, from preparing an effective pitch to finding suitable investors.
