ACIE came at a time when I needed direction, and it honestly helped reignite my entrepreneurship flame. What stood out to me the most was how customized the program felt; nothing was generic. They made intentional choices to include material that many programs overlook, simply because it adds real value. The team was extremely helpful and close. Not in a formal way, but in a real, supportive way. And what I appreciate the most is that the support didn’t stop after we graduated from the programs. They still help, they still follow up, and they still open doors for us. And there were plenty of opportunities that came through ACIE; more than I expected. For me, ACIE wasn’t just a program. It was a push, a reset, and a community that actually cares. Thank you

In a world where uncertainty rules and turns our aspirations into far fetched dreams, incubators pinch us back to a safe reality. A reality where we can work on our ambitions and feel secure enough to chase them. IdeaLab gave me mentors who listened, challenged my decisions, and helped me believe that my idea could stand on its own. Programs like this open a door that many young people never get the chance to walk through. They help us build confidence, clarity, and purpose. This is why they are essential and why I am grateful to be part of this journey.

Joining the ACIE & generator HealthTech Accelerator gave us insights on the investment readiness phase we are at now with the business, by trainers and mentors from the US & the region. While other programs may focus only on theoretical sessions, what was the most beautiful thing about this program is that it gave us plenty of space to chat, share, discuss, exchange ideas and stories!

I saw passion and chemistry running between those young entrepreneurs and the ACIE leadership and everyone was encouraging, pushing and celebrating small steps and major milestones for each forward move

I joined IdeaLab at a moment when I was still shaping G Algae and trying to understand how to turn my vision into a real, scalable solution. I believed in the potential of spirulina and sustainable production, but I needed guidance to transform that belief into a strong business model. IdeaLab gave me that space. The mentors helped me clarify the problem I wanted to solve, refine the value of G Algae, and structure the project in a way that made sense for both impact and growth. What truly motivated me was the supportive community, people who listened, challenged my ideas, and pushed me to think bigger. This program didn’t only help me develop G Algae; it also helped me grow as a founder, gain confidence, and take concrete steps toward building a solution that can contribute to climate resilience and sustainable nutrition.

Being involved with the ACIE during the accelerator has opened to me the doors to grow in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and earn more the overall entrepreneurial journey
