Acceleration Program for startups
#SmartCity / #IIoT / #AR / #AI & others

Thank you for all your submissions!

Most wanted

Our acceleration program is directed to startups (ie. micro and small entrepreneurs), which develop innovative products, services or technologies especially in the smart city industries (Smart City), artificial intelligence (AI), industrial internet of things and expanded reality (IIoT, AR).

We are looking for projects that have at least a working prototype (or are able to deploy the solution within a few months).

For the program we are looking for startups:

  • starting their business activity - ie. they operate for a maximum of 5 years from the date of registration
  • which did not distribute profits and were not created as a result of the merger
  • not listed on the stock exchange

Who is behind this?

Business Expectations

  • plastics, new uses of known plastics, composite materials, materials with a blend of graphene
  • coating materials, particularly related to paints and varnishes using melamine and polyamide
  • new types of plastics, resins
  • used battery technologies, with particular reference to type of materials used as electrolytes, membranes, electrodes, casings, etc. and producers of the above accumulators and materials used by them, such as batteries used in electronics, maintenance-guaranteed voltage, and used for energy storage and cooperation with energy networks
  • fine and technologically advanced, high-purity chemical intermediates used in the production of many specialty chemicals, i.a. dedicated to the agrochemical industry, production of dyes, additives for plastics, paints and varnishes, catalysts
  • pure chemicals produced in accordance to precise specifications, usually in the process of traditional organic synthesis

  • internet and mobile marketing and advertising, in particular tools for broadcasting, managing and monitoring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
  • loyalty and bonus solutions
  • fleet management

    • therapies
    • supporting decisions for medical personnel in the process of providing the service
    • optimization in the process of acquiring and directing patients
    • sale of dental packages
    • automation of patient administration in the scope of their basic activities

  • extraction process optimization
  • raw material treatment (improvement of fuel quality parameters)
  • carbon dioxide utilization (CCU)
  • emission reductions (NOx, SOx, Hg, etc.)
  • improving manufacturing efficiency
