The Accelerate programme is designed to help entrepreneurs rapidly scale up an existing business and move them into a new phase of growth.

By providing them with a small amount of seed investment and access to our extensive mentor network, the Accelerate programme helps entrepreneurs overcome barriers that are holding their start-ups back and assists them in identifying the steps they need to take to achieve rapid and sustainable growth.

At the end of the programme, participating start-ups should have a good sense of their future strategy and be in a strong position to execute it.

The programme is residential and provides entrepreneurs with hands-on, practical support in the form of free co-working and meeting space; access to sector-specific knowledge and expertise; and regular support from dedicated coaches and mentors.

The first Accelerate Program is scheduled for the end of 2019.
