Is this programme right for you?

  1. You have a specific idea or research outcome that you’re ready to start developing into a prototype.
  2. You are prepared to dedicate four days of intensive work on your idea or research, transforming it into a market-ready concept.
  3. You are looking for guidance on how to validate and refine your idea, with the goal of creating something that could create impact.

Are you not quite ready to build a prototype and are still exploring your idea? Then our Explore programme might be a better fit.

Do you already have a prototype, then consider joining the Accelerate programme.
