A component of the EU’s Startup Europe initiative
One of the core aims of the Accelerator Assembly network is to develop a more informed understanding of the European accelerator ecosystem, acceleration best practices and potential areas for innovation to support European entrepreneurship.
It aims to do so by promoting and encouraging research around accelerator programmes, startup founders and their needs, innovative financing models, policy development and many more.
