Accelerator Programme
A follow on from the Pre-Accelerator, this 8 week accelerator programme, provides a combination of weekly virtual or onsite workshops and 1-to-1 coaching to enable companies discover a profitable, scalable and sustainable business model. Based around the Lean Startup methodology, the Accelerator Programme uses a set of highly effective tools and processes specifically tailored to the life sciences industry.

Participants will be supported by mentors, introduced to potential investors and have the opportunity to work with the Alderley Park Expert Network over over 200 members.
