For organisations

Turn an innovation mandate into ventures that can execute.

ScaleGate designs and runs accelerator programmes, venture studios and open innovation initiatives for organisations working across Europe and emerging markets.

We build the model, bring in the right founders and operate the work from selection to market execution.

Beyond the workshop

A programme is only useful if something moves after it ends.

ScaleGate builds for that moment. The venture should be ready to reach customers, run a pilot or enter the next market when the programme finishes.

What we run

Four ways to turn innovation into execution.

Each engagement is built around the organisation's objective, geography and operating reality.

Accelerator programmes

Cohort-based programmes built around a defined sector, geography or challenge.

ScaleGate designs the programme, sources and selects founders, coordinates operators and partners, and manages delivery through pilots, market access and Demo Day.

Venture studios

New ventures built around an institutional capability, technology or market problem.

We define the opportunity, validate the business model, assemble the required team and coordinate the work needed to reach an investable or launch-ready venture.

Discuss this model

Open innovation

A structured route from an organisational challenge to ventures capable of solving it.

We define the challenge, source relevant ventures, evaluate their fit and operate the collaboration through validation and pilot decisions.

Discuss this model

Market access programmes

Programmes connecting ventures, customers and operating partners across markets.

We build routes for ventures entering Europe from emerging markets, and for European ventures expanding into selected emerging markets.

From mandate to delivery

We design it. Then we run it.

ScaleGate can lead the complete programme or take responsibility for a defined part of the work.

We do not hand over a playbook. We take responsibility for the work.

ScaleGate acts as programme designer and operator. The mandate, team, geography, timeline and commercial terms are agreed before we start.

Europe and emerging markets

Built to work across markets, not from a distance.

ScaleGate combines a European operating base with relationships and execution capacity in selected emerging markets. This allows programmes to support founders entering Europe and European ventures moving into new markets.
