The role of accelerators and incubators
Accelerator
Where groups of experienced business owners and investors “accelerate” a cohort of companies through a short but intensive program, such as three to four months, finishing with a “demo” or “pitch” day.
Incubator
Where startups are supported to “incubate” potentially disruptive ideas at an early stage. Programs can include coaching and networking. Spaces can include wet labs, dry labs and office space.
Who shapes districts
