About Maltaccelerate

Over 20 years ago, when our founders were involved of the establishment of the Sheffield Cultural Industry Quarter, the UK’s foremost creative and digital incubator, we began helping businesses and guiding entrepreneurs to success.

Since then, we have advised and supported several businesses and spurred innovation across a wide range of industry sectors, from the United Kingdom to Europe and accession countries. Our team consists of highly qualified international specialists from academia and the corporate sector.

Our scientists work with startups to handle any technical or scientific demand and to effectively execute their solutions. In the meantime, our team of practitioners, which includes consultants, coaches, and mentors, advises startups on how to master all of the skills needed to grow and commercialize their novel ideas, such as business strategy and planning, investor negotiations and pitching, internationalisation / soft landing, IP and legal issues, financial planning and forecasting.
