Accelerator Guelph is a new incubator helping University of Guelph researchers bring their agri-food ideas and discoveries to the marketplace.
Modelled after some of the world’s top accelerator programs, the four-phase program provides advice and mentorship in business planning, executive leadership training, financial and accounting expertise, and human resources management.
The new initiative bolsters the University of Guelph’s already strong reputation for ingenuity and inventiveness in agri-food. Accelerator Guelph complements the university’s Gryphon’s LAAIR program, in which University of Guelph researchers pitch creative ideas for research commercialization to a panel of industry leaders and can win up to $125,000 to support their projects.
