Connecting European innovation with city needs
Funded by the European Union, ACCEND (ACCelerating EuropeaN Deeptech scale-ups) supports ambitious deep tech companies in growing beyond regional and national borders.
Through its European acceleration programme, ACCEND connects scale-ups with investors, innovation ecosystems and public sector stakeholders, helping them access new markets and test their solutions in real-world environments.
The project focuses on three key areas: Smart Cities, Net Zero Cities and Regenerative Cities, encouraging innovation that can contribute to more sustainable, resilient and inclusive communities.
As a project partner, OASC helps bridge the gap between emerging technologies and public sector needs, fostering connections that can turn innovative ideas into practical opportunities for cities.
