Following the success of the first batch of BioSense Accelerator in 2019, this year’s edition comes with a boost and new partnerships. Joining a regional program, EFSE Entrepreneurship Academy, BioSense prepares for the second edition of its agtech acceleration program. Here is what is new and what you should pay attention to.
This year’s program is enriched with the partnerships of EFSE and Startup Wise Guys (SWG). This means that in addition to local experts and mentors, the program relies on the content provided by SWG, their international group of mentors and full access to an 8-week online program. In addition, as the weeks of learning and working on developing new solutions come to an end, all teams will attend a local bootcamp and Demo Day supported by SWG. The best ones will get the chance to take their ideas further and attend a regional event pitching in front of an international audience. Finally, due to the pandemic and the difficulty of organizing in-person events, the program will be adapted for remote attendance. This opens doors to entrepreneurs not only from Serbia, but from the region who have an idea for a new agtech solution and want to take it to the next step.
Key dates to remember:
Application deadline: September 21st, 2020 (date extended)
Team selection and results: End of September
Program start date: October 5th, 2020
Program duration: 8 weeks
