It is an initiative supporting start-up companies from Poland which want to develop their innovative technologies on the German market. The participants will be offered support by their mentors, along with advisory services on the promotion of their products. The programme is coordinated by the Fraunhofer Center, PSTP’s partner – a recognised German organisation supporting transfer of research into the industry.

The aim of accelerapp Poland-Germany is to equip companies with expertise, contacts and skills which would stimulate their business and research development on the German market. The experts support businesses in preparing a development strategy, its implementation and evaluation as well as help them to acquire international business skills. They also suggest how to build and maintain a positive image of the company by means of facilitating participation in trade fairs, network meetings and collaboration networks.

Participation in accelerapp Poland-Germany is free of charge!

Deadline for submissions is 20 May 2016.
