Gazelle Accelerator

Gazelle Accelerator is a European project which aims to develop start-ups and SMEs in the industry 4.0, supporting them to accelerate their growth through dedicated training and coaching sessions, and also through connections with end-users and investors.

Gazelle Accelerator is about matching manufacturing challenges with innovative solutions, starting by identifying with industrial corporates in Europe what are their manufacturing needs and challenges.

After collecting all the challenges, Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini and the other partners launch the open call for Start-ups and SME’s. The 25 most innovative companies are selected to participate in the Gazelle Accelerator event, a unique opportunity to pitch solutions and get meetings with end-users and/or investors.

Since 2020, the programme has supported nearly 100 SME's and startups, covered more than 40 countries and fostered more than 120 connections between SMEs / startups and big corps.
