Solutions can range from early stage concepts to marketed solutions, and preference will be given to solutions that are culturally inclusive. Participants must be able to dedicate three-to-five hours per week to accelerator assignments and activities, such as cohort events, workshops, mentoring sessions and bi-weekly progress check-ins.
