The Accelerator welcome any motivated start-up who wants to accelerate their idea to life, has background IP - be it “granted” or “in-making”, and is available to join them for 6 months for the full-time project. They will provide you with comprehensive expert support all along and dedicated resources to make it happen!

The Accelerator program is powered by Nestlé R&D and provides full access to their infrastructure; the expertise of their scientists and engineers, who are skilled in all food science & technology areas; plus, coaching and mentorship. Program participants will also receive a co-development fund for each innovation idea that is successfully selected. During the program, entrepreneurs have a chance to connect with and be guided by leaders, potentially opening-up additional opportunities for the future.
