Program

Are you ready to take your startup international?

Acer, one of the world’s top ICT companies with a presence in over 160 countries, together with its brand Packard Bell, is looking for pioneering startup ideas to shape the future of technology.

This exclusive program is your gateway to international expansion, strategic mentorship, and a potential collaboration with a global tech leader. Acer Group is relaunching its Packard Bell brand and you have the opportunity to contribute to the next chapter of a century-old story of answering people’s essential needs.

We are looking for innovative and proven electronic products, software, and solutions with existing customer traction in the following areas: computers/tablets, smart fashion, health and wellness, smart home devices, tech gadget, educational tech and other similar product groups.

If your startup has a proven product and is ready to scale internationally and aligns with Acer’s vision and the Packard Bell brand, this is your opportunity to shine (while Acer Group will be providing full back-end support).

The process:

• Submit your application by 14. September, including a tailored proposal for the potential business case.
• The top 10 selected applications will be invited to join a virtual pitch session on 10. October and present their business case. Up to 5 startups will be selected to join the next step.
• Selected startups will work closely with Acer experts to refine their internationalization strategy and explore business opportunities.
• The finalists will be invited to come to the Acer headquarter, on 13. November, to pitch the case to the Acer Board, who will have the ultimate decision on whether you will be able to secure a PoC. During the day, you will get the chance to meet face to face with your "mentors", other startups, the Management Board and enjoy a lovely networking reception.
