Industry Tracks:

Alongside the program, they will be running industry specific tracks focused on critical industries ripe for global innovation. The 2023 program will include 6 tracks that will receive additional content and networking opportunities from leading experts in these fields. Joining a track is an additional time commitment but does not influence the odds of being accepted into the core accelerator program.

The following tracks are planned for the 2023 program:
