Applications are open! Following the creation of two new accelerators within NEOMA Business School's Startup Lab, entrepreneurs are now invited to apply to become part of the 1st cohort..
NEOMA Business School is already equipped with three Incubators to allow budding entrepreneurs to happily start their careers, and has now completed its entrepreneurial process with the launch of NEOMA EdTech Accelerator (based in Reims) and NEOMA Mobility Accelerator (based in Rouen). Open to innovative startups who have already held a first fund-raising event, these two structures aim to help them boost their development by focusing on three major areas of analysis:
Understanding their customers better
Structuring a detailed action plan to address their target
Launching a fund-raising event tailored for their identified needs
A boosted development thanks to a qualified mentor network
These two accelerators are based on the strengths of NEOMA BS: access to a dynamic network of local partners, a wide-ranging testing ground for their products or services and a well-paced pertinent support program.
"In three months our accelerators can save significant development time, with the success of the first major fund-raising event in line of sight," according to the analysis by Denis Gallot, Director of the NEOMA Business School Startup Lab.
The key to success: daily mentoring combining classes by specialized and mainstream professionals."
