Training Programme – Cohort 2
November 2023 – February 2024
The training provided within the scope of the Accelerate Izmir Acceleration Program is offered physically and online in 84 hours for 10 weeks, under three important main pillars: internationalization, investment and pitching.
Training titles are offered in two categories every week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The subjects of Basic (Applied) and Case-Based Trainings are complementary to each other
Basic (Applied) Trainings consist of interactive sessions with the participants, after an expert speaker presents the content in detail. Companies are expected to make preparations before these Basic (Practical) Training sessions so that the training is not purely theoretical and is applicable.
Case-Based Trainings are given by one or two company representatives with direct experience on the subject covered in the basic trainings held in the same week. In these sessions, participants have the opportunity to interact with successful entrepreneurs going through the scaling and growth process.
The draft program* to be carried out during the term is below.
