Each year, we identify at least 12 of the most promising emerging companies in Europe and provide them with six months of tailor-made acceleration programming, including one-on-one mentoring, workshops, networking and a fully paid face-to-face summer bootcamp. All supported startups also receive a microgrant of €2,500.

We welcome all European innovators, especially aiming to improve the acceleration possibilities for startups originating from the RIS region, thus boosting their innovation and go-to-market potential.
