ENTREPRENEURSHIP : Official launch of PwC’s Accelerator. A great project and initiative of Pwc Luxembourg.

Forence Roux (EDHEC GE 1995) is part of PwC's Accelerator team.

PwC’s Accelerator is a unique platform designed to accelerate high-growth companies to a global level. Its goal is to help these companies achieve international reach and become leaders in their market by combining adequate fundraising, top management team building and logistical assistance. By leveraging on the extensive business network and professional expertise of PwC and its corporate members, these companies can achieve exponential growth.. Discover the video.

Last week, I took part to the official launch :

"Local to global Expo". Around 20 fast-growing companies have pitched in front of institutional investors (i.e. VCs, Private Equity Funds and Family Offices) and corporate partners. The featured companies have been selected based on the uniqueness of their technology, the quality of their management, their ambition to grow internationally as well as the size of their total addressable market. This first edition of the "Local to Global" Expo has provided the opportunity to participants to meet high-potential companies as well as meet other actors of the European investor community.

This first "Local to Global" Expo has been followed by the official launch of PwC’s Accelerator which lays the groundwork for developing a connected and innovation-driven business community. This is an ecosystem that we believe will benefit both PWC's clients and those who take part in it. We wish long life and success to this accelerator and we wish that this initiative will allow to support the development of several experienced  EDHEC entrepreneurs.
