In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Accenture, the Consulate General of Israel to South India, and NASSCOM have come together to jointly launch an Indo-Israel 'Scalerator,' an exclusive program that aims to enhance the collaboration between the Israeli and Indian startup ecosystems.
The program leverages the innate, complementary strengths of India and Israel. While India can benefit from Israel's strength in emerging technologies, Israel can leverage India’s manufacturing and services capabilities, along with its huge software talent base. With its large domestic market and global capability centers of MNCs, India can help Israeli start-ups scale and can serve as a test bed for Israel’s tech innovation.
The Scalerator program is aimed at growth-stage Israeli start-ups having deep product/platform expertise in the new technology landscape, especially in the areas of Cyber security, Artificial Intelligence, Robotic Process Automation, Internet of Things, Big Data & Analytics, Blockchain, Extended Reality, Mobility and Quantum Computing.
Start-ups in the Scalerator program will be hosted at the NASSCOM Start-up Warehouse, as part of NASSCOM’s 10,000 Startups initiative. NASSCOM will provide and enable mentorship opportunities for the start-ups and involve them in market access forums consisting of industry events and customer engagements.
NASSCOM will also facilitate access to Open Innovation programs in India through which start-ups will have the opportunity to work with both Indian clients as well as MNCs with global capability centers in India.
Eligible start-ups will also earn access to Accenture Ventures’ Open Innovation program in India, having the opportunity to co-innovate with Accenture’s teams and develop innovative use cases to solve client business challenges. Eligible start-ups will gain access to Accenture’s global and India client base and the world-class Accenture Innovation Hub in Bangalore.
The Consulate General of Israel to South India will provide business development support to the selected startups from Israel and facilitate an understanding of the available funding channels.
