Industry Lab

Industries: the main industries of interest to the Accelerator are: Transport, Energy, Bioeconomy, and Innovative Industrial Technologies. Next in line are the areas included in the National Smart Specializations.

Activity and origin: the accelerator was established in 2017 as part of the Scale UP pilot competition in cooperation with DGA S.A. and H. Cegielski-Poznań S.A. The accelerator invites startups from all over the country to the project, which have to offer HCP innovative solutions tailored to the needs, problems or supply chain of HCP.

What stage the project must be at: the originator can submit their idea at the concept stage, but must have exclusive rights to the idea and have legal personality or be ready to establish it.

Investment amount: the fund invests up to 200,000 PLN to create the so-called MVP, and additional funds can be committed directly after verification and justification of market needs.

Examples of investments: the accelerator does not have any companies in its portfolio due to its short establishment period. The first companies that the Accelerator will be able to boast about will be published at the end of September and beginning of October 2017.

Advantages of Polish originators: creativity and the number of ideas that are created in Poland, excellent technical and IT facilities.

Disadvantages of Polish originators: lack of business justification and something that keeps everyone awake at night, namely sales.
