E-business Incubator Go-Up: Catalysing Smart Growth in Europe within the ACCELERO Project

E-business Incubator Go-Up, a Bulgarian organisation and an instrumental Local Ecosystem Builder (LEB) within the ACCELERO project, takes pride in its commitment to accelerating smart growth across Europe.

As part of their mission, Go-Up focuses on nurturing startup companies, advocating cooperativism, promoting social entrepreneurship, and facilitating impact investments. By creating smart, green jobs and offering intelligent employment opportunities for youth, they have emerged as a dynamic force in the European business landscape. Go-Up is dedicated to improving the regional framework for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) development. They achieve this by lending support and fostering connections amongst regional and local partners from diverse sectors, including public, private, civil society, and academia.

Through a unique blend of services, Go-Up provides:

Capacity Enhancement: Training, consulting, mentoring, and additional services to SMEs, startups, and entrepreneurs tailored to bridge the skill gaps.
Job and Employment Creation: Facilitating the start-up and competitiveness of SMEs, promoting innovation in sectors with high potential for employment creation and growth.
Cross-Sectorial Linkage Development: Strengthening the bond between academia and businesses.
Venture Building in Agri-Food and Bioeconomy: Creating facilities for growing businesses from scratch, innovating in products, services, and value chains that are climate neutral, smart, and socially fair.

As a multi-level, multinational organisation, Go-Up's establishment comes from a long-term, successful partnership and collaboration between academia, business, and the non-governmental sector. They owe their existence to the joint efforts of the Horizon Results Booster of the European Commission.

The ACCELERO project, spearheaded by EurA AG, is delighted to collaborate with Go-Up. Together with our partners, including EBN - European Business & Innovation Centre Network, bwcon, BIC Innobridge, EuroQuity - Bpifrance, and Krakowski Park Technologiczny | Krakow Technology Park, we look forward to bolstering the European innovation ecosystem.

The individuals who make up our network are the driving force behind the ACCELERO project. Key contributors from Go-Up, such as Rosen Dimov, Assoc Prof, PhD, and Darina Zaimova, continue to catalyse innovation and entrepreneurship across Europe, a testament to our collective endeavour.

Let's celebrate these relentless efforts and r
