Warsaw Booster’20​

WB_2018

Warsaw Booster’20 is an acceleration program for the best technological start-ups. The accelerator aims to support young companies in enhancing their business competences. Participants of this year’s edition will receive individual and tailor-made support to their most urgent needs from mentors, advisors, and Program Partners. 

One of the strengths of this year’s edition is the engagement of corporates that have decided to support founders in their growth.

The initiator of the Program is the City of Warsaw, and the operator is a consortium of three foundations with unique and vast experience in supporting innovation in variety of sectors, initiating valuable public and private cooperations: The Coalition for Polish Innovations, Mobile Open Society through Technology (MOST), and Startup Hub Poland.

Warsaw Booster’20 welcomes ambitious entrepreneurs interested in individual support fitting their current needs and acquiring knowledge from the best industry experts and ecosystem insiders. 

The program is open for young technology companies (existing not longer than 3 years) and to founders without having the legal business entity (project teams). The condition is to conduct business (or intend to do so) in Warsaw – the leading hub of innovation in CEE.

  • artificial intelligence (AI),
  • internet of things (IoT),
  • analysis of large data sets (big data),
  • cloud computing,
