 <\/p>\n

Participants can opt for a free working space in weXelerate\u2019s headquarters for the programme duration of 4 months. The startups will be working from the same building as multiple VCs. Part-time participation is also an option If relocating to Vienna for the entire duration of the programme is not an option.<\/span><\/p>\n

If accepted into the programme startups will meet world-leading corporates to form alliances, partnerships or to develop use cases and pilot projects, and there’s a good chance those corporates will become (first) big customers. 100+ seasoned mentors who are international serial-founders or executives from MNCs will provide them with network, experience, and advice. A network of 60+ partners including lawyers, growth hackers, designers, software companies and more are available to be consulted as needed on a 1on1 basis. <\/span><\/p>\n

We’d like to encourage you to apply for the next programme batch that will <\/span>start at the beginning of April 2019<\/b>. The highly recommended <\/span>FAST TRACK <\/b>application period with increased chances of being selected is currently open up until <\/span>November 30th. <\/b><\/p>\n
