the right support, guidance, and resources to grow. That’s where accelerators and incubators come in. 

Incubators help early-stage entrepreneurs develop their ideas slowly, providing mentorship, workspace, and basic resources. Accelerators, on the other hand, are like a fast-track program — they push startups to grow quickly with intensive training, expert guidance, and networking opportunities. For students and young innovators, these platforms open doors to learning, collaboration, and even funding. They connect dreamers with experienced mentors, industry experts, and potential investors.
