Accelerators – Application Open!

Boosting mature ventures via connections with corporates, networks, and tailor-made tools.

The Acceleration Programme enhances business ventures by empowering young entrepreneurs through access to corporate partners, critical tools, ongoing education, and networks. They are the natural next step for individuals who have created their minimum viable product, and have thus acquired their first paying customers. During the programme a close cooperation with a corporate partner takes place, which allows in-depth coaching and access to relevant networks in the vertical the entrepreneur is active in.

 

During the three-month duration of the Accelerator Programme, the participants are appointed three mentors (local, international, and vertical), and are entitled to a cash-for-service budget, which they can use for specific technical trainings. The culmination of the acceleration is a demo-day, for which the participants are coached by professional pitch experts, and where winners can receive additional cash prizes.

About the programme

The Travel Tech for Good Accelerator powered by TUI Care Foundation and enpact e.V, supported by UNWTO, is 3-month support for entrepreneurs, during which local and international mentors help you shape your business model, research potential investors and clients, and bring your elevator pitch to the next level. 6 start-ups are selected to participate in an intensive acceleration programme, which will take place in three hubs across East Africa. Boosting purpose-driven business development and improving the pitches will be at the core of the accelerator. Local and international mentors alongside a network of tourism professionals will advise the entrepreneurs and their team throughout the acceleration phase. The programme ends with a Demo Day, where the founders pitch the results in front of an international jury. The winner will receive a cash reward and, importantly, access to East African ecosystems and an international network of supporters and experts. The programme targets startups with business models that have a social or environmental mission and hence are dedicated to positive change in their society.
