Boomtown Accelerator

Boomtown Accelerator designs and runs custom programmes that help established companies tap outside innovation. It argues that the most disruptive ideas tend to come from beyond a company's own walls, and that firms without ties to outside ecosystems risk falling behind new entrants.

What Boomtown Accelerator does

• Innovation platforms: tailored, turnkey programmes tied to a client's business strategy.
• Programme operation: running the platform on the client's behalf.
• Industry challenges: programmes aimed at problems specific to a sector.
• Demo days: events where start-ups show their work, such as a sports technology demo day with Comcast NBCUniversal.
