The second pilot of the DEXIC Accelerator will take place from 1st of April to 10th of May in the Czech Republic. Recently, DEX Innovation Centre started a digital promotional campaign and opened the applications as well. 

Nowadays, DEXIC scouts through suitable startups; plans road trips & meetups and all activities regarding the Accelerator are supported by a social media campaign. Startups can apply until the 28th of February 2019. 

Before the main programme itself, DEXIC BootCamp will be used as part of the evaluation procedure. The goal is to have a strong pool of digital startups with impactful innovation. Out of 14-16 startups, DEXIC will choose half of them that will attend the DEXIC Accelerator.

In the 2nd batch of DEXIC Accelerator, some significant changes took place. Increase in length of the acceleration programme from 4 weeks to 6 weeks was necessary in order to give startups sufficient time for their day-to-day operations.

Secondly, lead mentoring in the 2nd batch will be done through cooperation and managerial support of other team members as opposed to individual work of Lead mentor in the 1st batch. Another improvement is related to the transfer of information & knowledge of startup teams between mentors due to the daily pre- and post-briefing with a Lead Mentor. As the last change, the final #DEMODAY will take place in Prague instead of Liberec since it is easier to attract the investors.

DEX Innovation Centre is looking forward to meeting again all the interesting people and their innovative digital startups!
