Applicants will also be considered for the SOCAP Impact Accelerator Program, taking place on 1-2 September in San Francisco. The Impact Accelerator Program is a two-day mini accelerator programme in collaboration with full-time accelerators, covering pitch trainings, business model refinement, HR and legal management, and more. It enables participants to connect and learn from other entrepreneurs, and prepares them to get the most out of the ensuing conference.
