KPT ScaleUp – acceleration programme

KPT SCALEUP BOOSTER is an acceleration programme designed for two industries: industrial and gaming. Start-ups, i.e. companies that have been on the market for no longer than 5 years and are already at a certain stage of development, e.g. have at least a prototype solution ready for development with the participation of business partners, can participate in the programme. The aim of the programme is to support participants in the development of their business model and technology with the intensive involvement of manufacturing companies, investors and game publishers.

Here’s our way to accelerate your success in business:

• NON-REPAYABLE FUNDING

We provide supported startups with a grant of up to PLN 300,000 for your company.

• TANGIBLE HELP WITH EXPANSION

Our experienced team will make every effort to be close to you and your start-up throughout the acceleration process. You can count on our commitment, availability and practical support.

• COOPERATION WITH INDUSTRY 4.0 AND NEW TECHNOLOGY EXPERTS

By participating in the programme, you will gain access to a group of industry experts from our partners. You will benefit from networking with Polish founders, mentoring and consulting from specialists in law, finance, marketing, sales and management.

• DIRECT ACCESS TO POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS

Our ecosystem includes over 200 industrial companies and several investment funds, which we invite to Demo Day, where we present the solutions developed within the accelerator.

This is the ideal profile of a start-up we are looking for to join our acceleration programme:

• you create solutions that respond to the technological challenges of our partners (link),
• you use technologies such as IIoT, VR, AR, AI, big data, robotics and automation, and others that help in the digitalisation of business processes,
• you have a solution ready for validation and test implementation with one of our partners.

KPT ScaleUP is the largest Industry 4.0 accelerator in Poland. For 6 years, we have been successfully connecting the start-up community with large industrial companies. We have completed 7 six-month acceleration programmes, during which we have supported 64 young technology companies.

Our group of industrial partners now includes over 25 representatives of Polish Industry 4.0.

But the most important proof of our effectiveness is the commercial implementation of solutions created by our start-ups.
