Concordia Design Accelerator is part of the Poland Prize project organized by the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP). Its aim is to attract foreign innovators to Poland, enable them to set up a company, and then connect with representatives of VC funds or mature enterprises. All this is to test the solution developed by the startup and help the young company achieve business success.

Originators from all over the world can apply for the program. Ideally, young companies should
develop solutions in the field of industry paths: Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity or Smart City. However, this is not a necessary condition.
The programme has already proven its effectiveness - each round brings more applying founders, business partners and active collaboration.
