Excelerator program overview
1. Excelerator
The CAPS Excelerator course is designed for entrepreneurial
minded students seeking high-tech resources and cross-
disciplined teams to “Innovate” and “Accelerate” their ideas. It
will combine separate strands of CAPS and engage them in a
high speed process that takes an idea from conceptualization
through validation and production to commercialization.
