€40K investment and investor insight: AceON Accelerator opens applications for 6th international program

AceON Accelerator has announced that applications are now open for its sixth international program. The accelerator is offering startups a €40,000 investment along with practical investor insight, aiming to help founders take their ventures to the next stage.

In its five previous editions, AceON has supported more than 100 startups from over 20 countries. According to the organizers, those efforts helped founders turn early-stage ideas into companies ready for growth. The new intake continues the program's focus on international participation and hands-on support.

The accelerator is a private, sector-agnostic initiative set up by Accace, an international advisory and BPO corporation, together with ZAKA VC, a venture capital fund. Because it is not limited to a single industry, AceON works with startups across a wide range of fields rather than concentrating on a narrow technology or service segment.

The core offering of the program combines capital with expertise. Alongside a €40,000 investment, selected startups gain access to investor know-how, which can help them understand how to approach funders, refine their business models, and prepare for further development. The goal is to provide more than just money — the accelerator wants to equip founders with the practical knowledge needed to grow.

Startups from around the world are invited to apply. This marks the sixth time the organization is bringing together a new cohort of founders, building on a track record that spans more than five successful programs and a diverse group of supported companies.
