Zú is proud to announce, for the second time, its partnership with SODEC for the launch of the Accélération SODEC program, an initiative aimed at companies in the creative sectors.  

10 Quebec companies have been selected for a 10-week intensive coaching program, based on Design Thinking and Lean Startup methodologies.   

The program features collaborative workshops designed to support early-stage projects, offering participants the opportunity to transform their ideas into viable commercial offerings. The main objective is to support companies in developing technological solutions that will enable them to diversify their revenues or transform their business model, thus creating a new line of business capable of having a positive impact on SODEC’s sectors of intervention.  

Over the course of 10 weeks, entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to validate the feasibility of commercializing a new line of business based on their technological product. They will work on structuring their business model, refining their value proposition, and developing a plan for intellectual property registration.  

Yesterday, the selected startups gathered at the Zú offices for the official launch of the program, and to get to know their peers and the Zú team who will support them in their development. This initiative promises to be an enriching experience, conducive to the development and success of the participating companies.   

Without further ado, discover the selected companies and stay tuned to follow the progress of these dynamic entrepreneurs throughout their acceleration journey!
