The UVI Research and Technology Park (RTPark) announced on Tuesday its cross-promotion partnership with Brinc, an internationally recognized technology accelerator program, in an effort to build a global network of support for RTPark clients to tap into and expose international tech firms to the benefits and opportunities available in the Territory. The partnership with Brinc represents the RTPark’s first win to emerge from their East Asia trade mission this past March.
Brinc runs leading accelerator programs worldwide in Hardware IoT, Drones and Robotics, Food Technology, and Energy and Industrial IoT, according to their website. They also provide technical support to firms navigating through the process of mass manufacturing and provide capital investments to many start-ups showing exceptional progress in business growth.
Accelerators are cohort-based, fixed-term programs which offer early-stage companies and entrepreneurs the technical assistance, mentorship, and financial support needed to help scale their enterprise from a start-up stage to a successfully growing business venture. Many accelerators are also valued for their access to venture capitalist networks and are considered highly-competitive and ultimately very rewarding opportunities for entrepreneurs looking to take their business to the next level.
