The Accelerator Program not only includes a grant but more importantly it provides the accepted projects with exposure to the resources in the ecosystem, ranging from business leads, incubation, investment opportunities, market awareness, technical support, and professional services. VeChain Foundation is committed to working with its partners within the network to support the projects at various stages.”
