Scope
Description
We run a 10-week accelerator programme consisting of workshops, stakeholder 1-2-1s, mentoring, networking opportunities with key executives and access to a wide range of resources and knowledge from across the sector.
At the end of the 10 weeks, all businesses taking part on the programme will present their MVP (Minimum Viable Product) on demo day, with the goal of securing a contract with Transport for Wales. Successful candidates will then have the financial security and access to resources needed to continue development of their product or service to integrate across Transport for Wales.
