What’s the programme, and who’s running it?

Each year C4DI helps a small, focussed selection of fast-track technology businesses through a process that develops robust and globally-connected businesses.

“…We don’t do pitching competitions or hackathons. We’re not here to help you design a slide deck or to entertain corporate wantrepreneurs. We’re here to help technology companies grow through accessing global markets quickly and more effectively and building a robust, scalable business…”

We don't run a formalised accelerator or have a standard structured approach to incubating businesses, as we tailor our approach to each opportunity based on the skills and resources needed to help accelerate the growth of that business.

C4DI has partnered with Nestlé and GXO to deliver a focussed programme around logistics and supply chain technology.

What are we offering?

We are offering access to industry leaders, opportunities to test and refine your product in a real world environment, access to companies who it could have taken you years to access, as well as business support and guidance from people who have built similar businesses.

What are we looking for?

We are looking to hear from businesses who have technology in the following areas:

1. Digital twins

2. Truck/lorry/yard safety

3. Logistics workforce management

We recognise that there may be businesses who have solved problems in adjacent industries that may be applicable to warehousing and logistics and so if you believe you have something applicable, then please get in touch.

Can I speak to some businesses you’ve helped before?

Absolutely, we can introduce you to businesses who’ve been through our previous incubation programmes to understand how they benefitted. Also, visit our Testimonials page to watch videos of start-ups that have successfully launched and progressed their businesses with support from C4DI.

Can I speak to someone before I apply?

Of course, please email us with a bit of background to your business and we’ll get in touch with you.
