Centech Acceleration

Building and scaling an AI solution for supply chain challenges can be difficult without the right mix of mentorship, validation, and industry connections. For Quebec-based startups working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and logistics, the Centech Acceleration program offers a structured way to turn a promising technology into a market-ready business. Designed as an intensive 12-week accelerator, the program focuses on helping founders sharpen both their product and their commercialization strategy.

Delivered by Centech, a well-known innovation hub in Quebec, the Acceleration program provides hands-on, non-dilutive support rather than traditional cash funding. Participating startups gain access to dedicated workspaces, practical workshops, and group clinics, along with one-on-one coaching from experienced Entrepreneurs in Residence. The support is highly personalized, helping teams validate the real-world potential of their AI solution, refine their value proposition, and choose a business model suited to supply chain markets. While the program is particularly aligned with deeptech ventures, it also draws on expertise from related sectors such as medtech and edtech, creating a strong cross-disciplinary ecosystem.

This accelerator is best suited for early-stage teams that have already developed a technical solution and are ready to focus on growth, pitching, and organizational foundations. With cohorts offered on a recurring basis, exploring the full program details can help founders determine whether Centech Acceleration is the right next step for their startup journey.
