The document describes SCALEit, a program that helps early to mid-stage technology companies expand globally by spending one week in Silicon Valley to pitch their company, network, and learn from the ecosystem. It also describes the ACCELERATE program, which provides companies more extensive mentorship, workshops, and exposure to investors and events over 3 months to further support their global growth. Both programs aim to help companies inspire in Denmark and ignite their expansion in Silicon Valley.
