The 2nd batch of DEXIC Accelerator had a surprising start. After the promotional campaign, DEX Innovation Centre collected 140 applications from digital startups with impactful innovation across Europe, Asia and even Africa.

The 6-week acceleration programme started on 1st April 2019 in the city of Liberec, Czech Republic. Each day were the startups intensively working with mentors on one of 4 core areas – Product, Business Model, Negotiation with Investors, and above all, Marketing & Sales. Moreover, two social events full of teambuilding activities took place in the beginning and in the middle of the programme in order to get familiar with other teams and relax a bit.

Common work of mentors, startups and DEX IC team has resulted in #DEMODAY that took place in Prague. The event hosted more than 90 participants – investors, mentors from the programme, startups and other startup ecosystem actors.

After careful evaluation of each presenting startup, the first place was awarded to InoCure. They developed a biomimicking 3D cell culture membrane with fibrous morphology that significantly shortens the required time for new drug development, supports animal-free life science research and saves tons of money. The 2nd place went to LOKCHECK (project management and automation tool for construction projects) and 3rd place belongs to Regnos with their product QuickTwin (online company overview, management and help with business process automation)
