We are looking for early-stage Estonian startups and SMEs with a sustainability focus to join the 2nd cohort of the Baltic Impact Accelerator (BIA). The 6-month online programme is designed to help companies from the Central Baltic region develop, focusing on three key areas: Profit, Planet and People.

Apply for the programme by 1 October.

Project activities

Within the three acceleration cohorts a total of 96 scale-up companies will be supported (32 per cohort) and out of these 96 companies, 48 will scale up. The project will implement open seminars and events, where a broader audience of companies is reached and upskilled in order to provide knowledge about the 3BL methodology. The project provides unique acceleration for scale-up companies both from the 3BL methodology perspective, as well as the regional set-up: scale-up companies are specifically scaled in another CB country in order to help the companies to establish a better presence outside their home market.

Results

The “Baltic Impact Accelerator” project will achieve the following results:

1. At least 720 (unique) companies reached
2. At least 480 (unique)company applications received
3. 3 cohorts implemented with 32 companies per cohort
4. 480 individual trainings within the project provided to companies
5. 3 joint cross-border collaboration events (1 per cohort)
6. 3 demo-day events (1 per cohort)

Goals

Over 36 months, the project will implement an accelerator program that:

1. Develops new business models with a focus on 3BL
2. Helps to establish a presence outside home markets
3. Supports raising investments for accelerated growth
4. Nurtures consortiums and partnerships among companies

Project period: 1.4.2023-31.3.2026

Project funding: Interreg Central Baltic Programme, co-funded by the European Union
