Wales' brightest entrepreneurial minds are being urged to seize an opportunity to fast-track their business ideas. The Business Wales Accelerated Growth Programme is now accepting applications for its innovative 12-week immersive Start-Up Accelerator Programme, set to launch in September 2024.
The Business Wales Start-Up Accelerator Programme will combine virtual and face-to face sessions to deliver a comprehensive, rapid start-up experience. Participants will receive step-by-step guidance on turning their idea into a fully operational business, with tailored support to enable them to acquire paying customers and develop a sustainable business model. Coaches will hone participants' essential business skills throughout the programme and foster a success-driven mindset, which is crucial for any budding entrepreneur.
This accelerator is open to all Wales-based aspiring entrepreneurs with a pre-revenue business idea. The business idea should aim to achieve over £1 million in annual turnover and create ten full-time jobs by 2028, with potential export opportunities. Support is also available to help overcome barriers to participate in the programme.
The programme offers a blend of webinars, masterclasses, and one-to-one mentoring sessions conducted by business role models and business growth experts. Networking is a cornerstone of the programme, with peer-to-peer sessions facilitating business growth and offering invaluable insights. Participants will also benefit from PR opportunities designed to raise business profiles and drive rapid growth, with the programme culminating in a high-profile awards event.
