- Once logged in, select My Applications in the top left corner, and choose an application form the list of currently open programs.
The application process has two stages:
Stage one
You provide us a quick introduction to yourself and your proposal in Stage One. It will take around sixty minutes to finish. We will encourage you to submit a stage two application if you meet the requirements for the programme, your idea fits the kind of help we provide, and you are a good fit. In the first stage, the idea’s suitability for the program’s requirements and objectives is the main consideration, rather than its quality.
Stage two
The second stage application is longer and will evaluate the idea’s quality as well as your ability to run a startup. It will take you one to three working days to provide the further details about the team, the technology, the business model, and yourself. A panel of specialists will assess this section of the application, and if your application is accepted, you will be invited for an interview.
Please be aware that until the selection process is finished, we will not be able to send you the Panel’s comments on your Stage 2 application because of the high amount of applications.
