Start-Up incubator: outcomes and benefits

The ICE Accelerator Start-Up programme is where seed, start-up and early-stage ventures will have the opportunity to grow in an environment engineered for success. The programme will fill the gap between the conception of an 'idea' and the creation of a value-generating 'business'. The ICE Accelerator programme will provide high potential ventures with an environment in which they can:

  • Achieve high growth rates
  • Achieve substantial quarter-on-quarter increases in company value
  • Lay the foundation for continued growth and development once they exit the incubator
  • Develop innovative responses to market demands and compelling competitive advantages
  • Secure the capital and human resources they require to become internationally successful

ICE Accelerator is interested in high-growth ventures from across the economic spectrum. Sectors of particular interest include:

  • Communications & networking
  • Mobile commerce
  • Information technology
  • Software
  • Biometrics
  • Digital media & content

Scott Blackwood, ICE Accelerator, 2007.“ICE Accelerator has helped me to figure out who we are and where we’re going and then accelerated the journey to get there.  I managed to develop, sell and deliver our product to market.  I was reassured that we had a business model that would work, and I could perform with confidence. My only regret is that we didn’t join the ICEHOUSE earlier.” - Scott Blackwood, CEO, Unimarket, ICE Accelerator, 2007
