ACCEND's first cohort completed its online programme in June 2026. Over four months, partners ran 42 online workshops and events for the cohort on the ACCEND platform: 15 on access to finance, 14 on public procurement of innovation, 5 on global growth, 5 on piloting, 3 on inclusion and 1 onboarding session.
Alongside the learning sessions, ACCEND's piloting matchmaking presented 62 testbed and pilot opportunities to 10 companies, leading to seven matches, all of them across borders.
