ACE is selecting the next TOP 50 highly innovative ICT start-ups and SMEs

ACE is now launching a second call for applications aiming at selecting the next TOP 50 highly innovative ICT start-ups and SMEs in Europe. In its first year of activity the ACE Acceleration Programme powered by EBN, has already provided intensive one-to-one support to 80+ ICT start-ups and SMEs across Europe ensuring they rapidly gain entry and grow into international markets.

REQUEST

The request for companies is that they demonstrate to have a highly innovative solution and a strong support team. Then, as an ACE selected company, they will be assigned an experienced mentor in their own (or nearest ACE partner) country to help them through the process. The assigned mentor will then analyse the company’s strengths and weaknesses, develop an individual internationalisation action plan and put a support team and package of services in place for them, with support from ACE partners in other markets. To note: ACE is strongly encouraging applications from outside the partner countries in order to enlarge the ACE network!

BENEFIT

The selected start-ups will benefit from targeted coaching and tailored advice with a specially assigned experienced mentor from an EBN member. They can also profit from living lab validation, office space abroad, pitching events, investment readiness training, access to EU funding, business development support and hands-on assistance in finding partners and clients in their target market.
