What makes S-GRID different from accelerator programs?

Note: As of April 2022, the S-GRID program has merged to become part of the TRANSFORM Support Hub, powered by MovingWorlds. Please visit the General TRANSFORM Support Hub FAQs here to learn more about the program, and the TRANSFORM Support Hub FAQs for social enterprises here.

S-GRID is a complimentary program to any other hub, accelerator, incubator, or investment program you might be in (or want to be in).

S-GRID is both a learning network, as well as an active community that provides ongoing and on-demand support to help you create sustainable revenue streams by integrating into global value chains. The S-GRID program is based on three pillars:

• Development, with various opportunities to build the skills and capacity of organizations and their teams, such as S-GRID Guides, Industry Leaders and Peer Insights webinars, and Workshops; 
• Support, providing access to our global network of Experteers for hands-on support in pro bono and team training projects, coaching / mentoring requests and expert advice calls.
• Connections, helping to facilitate connections with industry leaders through connection requests posted on the platform, or promoting peer-based interactions and exchanges. 

The program is ongoing and on-demand, so social enterprises can engage whenever they need support. Acceptance into the program happens on a rolling basis so that you can access support when you need it. In addition, the programming is available to all team members within the accepted social enterprises.
