REVIEWS
  • I thought it was going to be yet another accelerator, but I received such a rich and practically oriented programme that I wish we should have paid more attention to it. However, the experience that we did gain here really saved our time and resources and helped us avoid the mistakes we could have made in case we enter the global market on our own, without the help of the experts.

  • We were lucky to meet the expert we worked with - he did a great job boosting our product while entering the global market. The programme structures and gives enormous opportunities. To be honest, right now we are a bit stuck, many of the agreements are still in process, and we are not sure about the final result. But we do have these agreements pending, including some big enterprises, and that’s great.
