A European program with a dedicated Latin American vertical
Sector-focused accelerators — agrifood, energy, emerging technologies — bring domain-specific mentors and, more importantly, domain-specific buyers. In sectors where the customer is a large corporate or a cooperative rather than a consumer, that access is the substance of the program.
Who it suits
Agrifood and energy startups in the Andean region that need introductions to industrial customers and to European capital, and can operate across two continents' time zones.
