CY EdTech Labs evolves and becomes at AKT Acceleration!

Visual illustrating the evolving CY EdTechLabs logo that transforms into AKT Acceleration

After several promotions rich in educational innovations, the CY EdTech Labs program led by PUI CY Transfer transforms for a new, more ambitious stage, embodied by AKT Acceleration.

AKT Acceleration extends the spirit of CY EdTech Labs and expands. Now structured around three sectorsEdTech, Cultural & Creative Industries (ICC) and Social & Solidarity Economy (ESS) —, the programme offers acceleration to projects at all stages of maturity.

For project promoters: this is the opportunity to integrate a redesigned programme, to benefit from strengthened resources and amplified networking.

A big thank you to all the start-ups, entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs who have trusted us so far — and welcome future impact initiatives, whether technological, cultural or social, as part of the AKT Acceleration!

The enhancement of the Human and Social Sciences, a unique characteristic, unique to the PUI CY Transfer.

In its strategy, the PUI CY Transfer has a special interest in the Human and Social Sciences: it is on its territory the operator of their socio-economic development. The PUI CY Transfer links SHS researchers to the concrete needs of local actors.

The meeting app between researchers and innovators !
