Training

The trainings provided within the Accelerate Izmir Acceleration Programme are offered physically and online under three main headings: internationalization, investment and pitching.

The trainings are offered every week on Tuesdays and Thursdays in two complementary categories, Basic (Applied) and Case-based (Experience) Focused.

Basic (Applied) Trainings consist of sessions that continue interactively with the participants after an expert speaker presents the content in detail. Companies are expected to make preparations before these Basic (Practical) Training sessions in order to ensure that the trainings are not purely theoretical and are applicable.

Case (Experience) Based Trainings are given by one or two entrepreneurs/industry professionals, etc. who have direct experience on the topic addressed in the basic trainings held in the same week. In these sessions, participants have the opportunity to interact with successful entrepreneurs, investors, etc. who are going through the scaling and growth process.
