Accelerate Now !
Proudly supported by L'Atelier BNP
Early December last year, NUMA, a leading tech and innovation hub in central Paris and home to France’s first accelerator program, held its first ever European Accelerator Summit.
The Summit brought 200+ leaders from accelerators from across Europe and beyond to discuss and debate the current state and future of acceleration. Using collaborative workshops and interactive talks, the purpose of the 2-day conference was really to identify the top trends and challenges facing the accelerator sector and viable models and ideas to reinforce the future of acceleration.
Leveraging the ideas and content generated from the Summit, we’ve developed this whitepaper which focuses on what the group identified as the top trends in acceleration as well as the challenges, opportunities, and models for each.
Start-ups are changing the world faster than ever - Accelerator programs are growing and enabling great entrepreneurs to succeed. Here is why Microsoft Ventures is helping the entire ecosystem and how that benefits to our Start-ups.
This year Startup Pirates, with the support of Tetuan Valley and Beta-I, held the first European Pre-Accelerator Summit. For an entire day, pre- accelerator leaders from 11 organizations working all over Europe gathered to discuss what is going on and what is the future of pre- acceleration.
We developed this white paper to collect not only the main conclusions of the Summit, but also to make information regarding Pre- Acceleration available to all the community.

با پررنگتر شدن نقش تلفنهای هوشمند و تبلتها در زندگی و کارهای روزمره نیاز به واکنشگرا بودن رابط کاربری یک وبسایت یا نرم افزار به مراتب بیشتر از قبل احساس میشود، همین طور طراحی واکنشگرا به عنوان یکی از امتیازهای سئو برای گوگل محسوب شده و سیستم ما را به استانداردهای جهانی نزدیکتر میکند. اما موضوع بسیار مهمی که برای اغلب کسب و کارها وجود دارد، ارتباط صحیح و راحت یک کاربر با وبسایت و نرمافزار آن شرکت یا سازمان میباشد. اولین گام جهت پیشرفت در مسیر توسعه کسب و کار زمانی برداشته میشود که کاربران یک سیستم با درک این استانداردها متوجه شوند که وقت و نوع نگرش آنها در نظر گرفته شده و میتوانند برای استفاده از محصولات یک سیستم، ابزارهای مختلفی را امتحان کنند.

در نوآوری باز، اطلاعات میان فعالان کسب و کار و شرکتها مبادله میشود و منابع اطلاعاتی هر یک در اختیار دیگری قرار میگیرد. به عبارت دیگر، یک شرکت به تنهایی تلاش نمیکند تا ایدههای جدیدی را خلق کند بلکه در پی استفاده از ایدههای داخلی و خارجی به شیوهٔ مطلوب است تا از این طریق بتواند ریسکها و هزینهها را مدیریت نموده و به روند پیشرفتهای فنی خود سرعت ببخشد.
Joe Pulizzi, author of “Get Content, Get Customers” defines content marketing as:
“How a brand creates, delivers and governs original or curated content to attract and retain customers, positioning the brand as a credible expert and, ultimately, motivating a change in behavior”

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

23. Conclusion Reached in Thesis
• An accelerator act as a hub, connecting the three main
stakeholders: mentors, investors and startups.
• The accelerator organization consists of a few employees that run
the day-to-day operations and facilitate the interaction between
the stakeholders. Mentors do not receive monetary compensation
from the accelerator.
• The processes in an accelerator can be divided into five distinct
phases; awareness, application, program, Demo day and post
Demo day.
• The accelerator accept teams based on the composition of the
teams rather than their idea.
• The teams in an accelerator are small consisting of two or three
people and the team is at an early stage that require intensive
mentoring and iteration of their idea.
• An accelerator can be seen as a service provided to investors

Editor's Notes
Hej hej Kort om acceleratorer: nytt sätt att investera I och utveckla IT-startups
Exempel på ett företag som gått igenom en accelerator Deltog I Y Combinator 2007 Pratas om värderingar på runt 5 miljarder dollar
Såhär ser vår presentation ut idag Jag ska prata lite om bakgrunden till acceleratorer och varför vi gör detta arbete – vilket leder fram till vår frågeställning Alexander ska berätta mer om vår metod och hur vi gick tillväga för att komma in på själva studien av ett antal acceleratorer Lisa tar vår analys och vilka slutsatser vi har kommit fram till
Men varför ska vi då studera acceleratorer? Först och främst är det ett nytt fenomen, väldigt lite akademiskt skrivet om dem. Vi bidrar åtminstone med 30 tusen ord och förhoppningsvis en gnutta insikter Vi har också vår externa intressent, Chalmers Innovation – KLICK -
De är alltså en inkubator kopplade till Chalmers, startades 1999 – sysslar framförallt med längre forskningsbaserade projekt Plockar upp nya trender från Silicon Valley – de nya sätten att bygga IT-startups på Pilotprojekt – Startup Spring Camp 2012 – Mini accelerator Intresserade av att fortsätta utveckla dessa – och möjligen starta en egen accelerator – därav detta kandidatarbete
Men för förstå vad det handlar om så tar vi ett steg tillbaka till IT-bubblan I slutet av 90-talet Boo.com försökte bygga en innovativ e-handel för kläder De lyckades bränna över 125 miljoner dollar av riskkapital på 18 månader För detta fick dom bland annat 8 stycken kontor och 400 anställda. Och detta var innan de sålt en enda produkt De lanserade sajten I 18 länder samtidigt I November 1999 och I Maj 2000 gick bolaget I konkurs Det som hände var att sajten dels inte fungerade för hälften av besökarna och dels var alldeles för krånglig,
En accelerator är en typ av en inkubator En vanlig inkubator tillhandahåller kontorsutrymme, telefon, och skrivare.
Olika trender – en trend är nya metodiker … Iterativa processer som bygger på att hitta kunder innan man bygger sin produkt och sedan lära utav det man bygger. Tvärt emot vad boo.com gjorde alltså.
En annan trend är de minskande utvecklingskostnader – skala upp – cloud – open source – summa summarum – jätte investeringar krävs inte längre I den inledande fasen
Dessa trender är vad som ledde fram till Y Combinator Tar in 65 startups på en och samma gång
