DISCOVER THE PARTNERS OF EXCELLENCE

Start-up training

We offer selected start-ups an intensive growth path through business fundamentals training, tailored go-to-market mentorship and technical evaluation with international experts. Trainers and mentors are top managers, professors and leading professionals in technology, finance and marketing. Following an initial assessment, a tailored masterclass programme is designed to equip startups with the most relevant knowledge and insights for their specific needs.

Open Innovation

We promote open innovation as a tool to foster the growth of start-ups, create synergies between established and emerging companies, and stimulate collaboration and integration of new ideas to accelerate the development of advanced solutions in the most innovative sectors of our time. Through the BoostER network comprising regional authorities, associations, institutions, and relationships built over years of managerial experience by BoostER consultants the programme engages corporates from various industries and backgrounds to support Proof of Concept (PoC) initiatives.

International Roadshows & Fundraising

Through a world-class international network, we help start-ups expand into global markets. By attending international B2B events, we facilitate matchmaking and fundraising.
The current programme includes a Roadshow in Stockholm in May, in partnership with SMAU, and another in Paris in June, promoted by Creative Valley.
