The ACE tailor-made acceleration programme may include, among other services: living lab validation in other countries; hands-on assistance in finding partners and clients; office space; introductions to investors, and; coaching on pitching for transnational investment. If you are among the top 100 applicants, you will be assigned an experienced mentor in your own (or nearest ACE partner) country. This ‘local’ mentor will analyse your internationalisation strengths and weaknesses, develop an individual internationalisation action plan with you and put an internationalisation support team and package of support measures in place for you with ACE partners in other markets. Unsuccessful applicants will be provided with customised feedback and encouraged to prepare for internationalisation by engaging with other companies, investors and mentors through the ACE Open Innovation Platform.
Background
Launched in September 2013, the ACE project will develop a new, tailormade acceleration programme – the ACE programme – to deliver targeted cross-border services to highly innovative ICT entrepreneurs, start-ups and SMEs with the potential to rapidly grow their businesses in international markets
