Waste monitoring, extending the shelf life of crops, and cultural event bookings – three new companies from very different industries have been accepted into UIC Accelerate. They will now receive professional support aimed at helping them grow both faster and smarter.
Through UIC Accelerate, the companies receive tailored support from experienced business coaches, investors, and expert partners who help them grow sustainably, avoid common pitfalls, and take the next step toward commercialization. While the three companies represent different industries, they share one thing in common — they combine innovation with the ambition to make a real impact in their respective markets.
— I would like to warmly welcome the new companies that have now joined UIC Accelerate. Their high level of innovation, drive, and potential to create value within their industries is truly impressive. It will be exciting to follow their journey throughout the program, says Maria Mattsson Mähl, Program Manager for UIC Accelerate.
Companies accepted into UIC Accelerate are offered an initial investment of SEK 600,000 from Linnéa Capital. The goal is to strengthen the companies’ financial position and increase their growth opportunities.
