Costa Rica Insect Company & Sibö

“When we started Accelerate2030, we were barely beginning to understand international business and how we wanted to scale the company. Now, we are an international company with its headquarters in Amsterdam, and operations in the UK and Costa Rica. Thanks to all the support at Accelerate2030 we were able to develop, improve and execute such a strategy.”

“Accelerate2030 gave us more visibility within international academic and governmental ecosystems, helped us develop a more robust business plan for internationalization, and improved how we communicate our social impact. These developments brought us three enterprise customers and three large projects with governments and well-known institutions.”

“Accelerate2030 gives us a direct phone line to Geneva, which is a key ingredient for us to scale quickly. Having connections in Geneva contributes to the influence of the company and is attrac- tive to potential investors. The sustainable piece of the program was also really transformative. Nobody offers this at the level and quality at which Accelerate2030 achieves this.”

“Our connection to the global Impact Hub network has been very useful. We’ve been able to engage with fellow entrepreneurs and our local Impact Hub in Nigeria. Working with my Accelerate2030 coach was one of the best experiences, which helped both me and my team. A very big thank you to the Accelerate2030 team for creating the platform and for bringing value to entrepreneurs from different parts of the globe!”
