Acceler8 is a strategic R&D actor and business champion specializing in the commercialization of research-based innovations. Our primary focus is on technologies born and developed within European research programs such as the European Research Council and the European Innovation Council. We work extensively in the life sciences and engineering domains, with a deep tech focus.

At Acceler8, we are particularly interested in collaborating with innovators who can contribute to developing sustainable and green solutions. We offer a range of services to support the journey of disruptive innovations from the laboratory to the market. Our approach involves elevating the readiness levels of technologies, developing them towards relevant applications, and productizing them into marketable offerings.

This can include establishing startups or out-licensing technologies to select market players. We also provide opportunities for academic researchers and enterprises to collaborate through our Venture Alliances program. This program aims to enhance entrepreneurial skills, market knowledge, and industry connections to facilitate the translation of new technologies into viable commercial products.

Additionally, we invest in deep tech startups and seek to match academic innovators with industry players to foster new joint ventures and R&D projects. We are constantly building our ecosystem and welcome co-founders, partners, investors, and test environments to join us in our mission to commercialize research-based innovations. Led by our experienced team, including our CEO Antti Heikkilä and Chief Research Officer Mika Tala, we have raised over 50 million euros and generated sales exceeding 150 million euros.

With a proven track record, we are committed to supporting the growth and success of innovative technologies in Europe and beyond
