Western Balkans Acceleration Program on Advanced Technologies financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel
In cooperation with the Israeli Ambassador Dan Orygan and in partnership with the Azrieli College of Engineering and AtoBe Accelerator from Israel, as well as our local Macedonian partner, the University St. Paul the Apostole, Ohrid, the pre-acceleration program offered Western Balkan start-ups and SMEs in the ICT and cross-cutting sector the opportunity to learn new skills from a range of experts. The program also offered participants opportunities for a 1:1 meeting with big regional companies such as Bosch, Gorenje, Kolektor, Iskra, Iskratel, Estocech and others. The goal of the acceleration program was to identify regional innovative companies, prepare them and connect them with technology-based corporations so they can expand their business. This was the first of a series of acceleration programs that PrimePoint plans on organising.
