What is the role of accelerators? How does this differ across innovation ecosystems and countries? Are there common formats to accelerator programmes, and how can programmes be tailored to deliver the optimum results for their participants?

Welcome to our two-part exploration of accelerators with three special guests including:

Cristina Lisii​​​​ - Senior Programme Manager, The Royal Academy of Engineering

Bartosz Wawrzynów - Portfolio Manager, FNP Ventures

Oliver Rätsep - Head of Business Development, Accelerate Estonia

Oxentia's Head of Entrepreneurship, Fabio Bianchi facilitates the discussion and we hope you'll enjoy listening to the different perspectives.
