Center for Innovation and Digitalization launches USAccelerator program
On September 4, the SWISS USAccelerator program will be launched with a kick-off event at the Center for Innovation and Digitalization (ZID) at Bernapark in Deisswil. This initiative opens up the opportunity for Swiss companies to extend their reach into the largest international markets and achieve sustainable success there.
Swiss companies striving for global expansion will have a new opportunity from September 4, 2023: The Swiss USAccelerator program will be launched at the Center for Innovation and Digitalization (ZID) in Bernapark in Deisswil, Bern. The ZID offers young companies, startups and SMEs a dynamic environment for creative exchange and innovative work processes. The launch of the new program therefore fits with ZID's ambition to create impulses for innovations that develop into successful business models in the long term.
Facilitate access to the USA market
The SWISS USAccelerator program has its primary focus on the United States - one of the world's most important markets for companies. The program was launched with the aim of offering concrete support for companies wishing to venture into international markets. A key feature of the program is the provision of valuable resources and networks that facilitate the expansion process and save participating companies valuable time.
To date, many Swiss startups and SMEs have not yet exploited their full potential on a global scale. Experts agree that being limited to the German-speaking region can be an obstacle to their long-term success. It is therefore essential to overcome this seemingly risky challenge by providing targeted support. This is exactly where the Swiss USAccelerator comes in. It was developed to remove these hurdles and provide Swiss startups and SMEs with the opportunity to realize their full market potential and gain a foothold in global markets. "The importance of collaboration between service providers on both sides of the Atlantic and knowledge transfer cannot be overstated. These collaborations play a critical role in supporting participating companies and their successful expansion into global markets," says Kaspar Zimmerli, one of the program's key leaders.
Milestone for Swiss startup and SME scene
The official launch of the USAccelerator program marks a significant milestone in the further development of the Swiss startup and SME scene, according to the company. With this program, a new era of opportunities is dawning, enabling companies to go beyond their previous boundaries and achieve their goals on an international level, according to the statement.
The kick-off event of the USAccelerator program will take place on September 4 from 4:30 - 6 pm. The event promises an inspiring program of presentations, discussions and networking opportunities to provide participating companies with the best possible start to their expansion journey.
