Corporate accelerators

The eWorks team has turned its experience running accelerator programs into a uniquely flexible model that can be easily adapted to different needs. Thus, eWorks can offer corporate accelerator programs adapted to every company’s specific requirements.

Programs can be vertical, focusing on a specific industry, or horizontal, spanning multiple industries. They can start from the pre-idea and pre-team phases or help existing startups grow and scale. The eWorks Accelerator platform can be completely customized and always counts on the strength and reliability of a proven pool of mentors and trainers. This pool includes Esade faculty and alumni but also external experts, finding the right people even outside the Esade network if needed. Our priority is to always provide entrepreneurs the best possible service.
