Purpose and goal
We have transformed our health-tech accelerator into an intensive virtual training program available to a wider target group. Thereby we can minimise costs for travel and lodging, greatly improving sustainability, and enabling flexible participation from the outside. We enable participation for persons who because of commercial- or family reasons cannot spend a long period of time in Lund. Especially interesting has been the ability to offer our Life-Science program to incubators in Sweden who do not have this specific area of expertise.
Expected results and effects
Generated a virtual library of tested and quality assured courses and topics relevant to early-stage companies that help them create a relevant business case and model. Transformation of the coaching process with digital tools and testing a customized learning platform for external participant interaction.
Planned approach and implementation
The participants were surveyed on the quality of the program and lectures at the end of the 8 weeks. Customer satisfaction was rated between 90-100% in the majority of questions regarding the process, program relevance, and quality. This provides significant confidence in being able to offer the program on a larger scope in the future.
