The program works with innovative technologies like VR, AR, XR, metaverse, and game tech. It includes business development workshops, mentoring, user experience sprints, and peer-to-peer support to help companies scale and grow.
- Cross-Border Ecosystem Building The project creates a robust cross-border ecosystem that connects tech companies with industry experts, investors, and new markets. This ecosystem fosters collaboration, knowledge sharing, and business networking across Finland, Sweden, and Estonia, helping SMEs to scale up and expand their reach.
- Market Readiness and Scaling Support CDG Booster focuses on helping tech SMEs refine their products and services to make them market-ready and user-friendly. The program also supports developing business models that fit new customer segments and facilitates access to industry events, trade missions, and investor meetings.
Expected Results
The CDG Booster project will implement a robust accelerator program featuring workshops, mentoring, and advisory services tailored to the needs of tech SMEs. By creating a cross-border ecosystem, the project will facilitate collaboration, knowledge sharing, and access to new markets and investors. As a result, CDG Booster will help 15 – 20 companies to scale up, enhancing their market readiness and business potential. This cross-border initiative will drive growth in the digital creative sectors and create lasting impacts on traditional industries by integrating cutting-edge technologies.
