Xcelerator training program
In partnership with USAID and The Lemelson Foundation, NCIIA is excited to offer this new training program designed for innovators pursuing the commercialization of a technology, as well as those aiming to increase demand or delivery of their service. Many successful ventures often fall short when trying to scale; we believe early support to ensure well-designed pathways to scale may help avoid some common pitfalls.
The Xcelerator training program is a three-day, immersive experiential education program that includes team support, including coaching, leading up to and following the training conducted in January. Many successful ventures often fall short when trying to scale; we believe early support to ensure well-designed pathways to scale may help avoid some common pitfalls. With a focus on building significant momentum, participants develop and evolve their business models using a set of tools developed over ten years. This new training program is designed for innovators pursuing the commercialization of a technology, as well as those aiming to increase demand or delivery of their service.
“Through Saving Lives at Birth and other programs, our Agency supports a large number of researchers and entrepreneurs who have innovative ideas and technologies with potential to save and transform lives," says Dr. Rajiv Shah, Administrator for USAID. "The Xcelerator program is an important new effort to speed the development and distribution of these solutions for greater impact.”
