This is a 12-week program that equips participants with the knowledge, resources, network and business resilience to test and deploy their solutions across NEOM's Supply Chain and Logistics ecosystem. Oxagon’s expert partners will offer personalized advice and technical knowledge in order to help companies integrate their solutions across the development. In the long-term, these integrated solutions and technologies will also have wider market entry and commercialization opportunities across the Kingdrom, region and beyond. Best-fit companies will be offered up to six months’ additional integration after a successful Demo Day pitch

There will be three months of training and mentorship before the program’s final Demo Day. Following this, participants whose innovations are best tailored to accelerate our ambitions will be invited to participate in the next level of the accelerator program. This involves a further six months of integration and mentorship, including up to four weeks spent in Oxagon with our supply chain experts who will help identify POC opportunities, facilitate access to international and regional investors, and secure piloting and test agenda.

Applications can only be made by following the link on this page, as shown above. Once applications close, selected teams will be invited to meet our Program Managers and complete further due diligence questions. They will then be invited to attend a panel interview with our investments committee. Following this interview, we will shortlist our top teams and may request additional supporting documents to help our final decision-making. The entire selection process will take around one month from the close of the applications. If you're not chosen for this selection, there will be more opportunities in the future.

While our chosen Accelerator companies will be invited to visit NEOM to explore the region and meet Oxagon experts, we do not require in person attendance for the Accelerator program. This is a virtual program, however companies will be requested to participate in a few in-person events in Europe and the Middle East.

While all companies will be considered, we are seeking Series A (or similar) companies with a stellar track record and a deployable solution that appeals to the Supply Chain & Logistics Team at Oxagon.

Yes, this is a global program.

This is an equity-free program, however participating companies will have access to POC and post-program funding opportunities from the investment networks of both NEOM and its partners. Admitted start-ups may be eligible to receive product development grants from NEOM.

No, there is no cost to your company to apply or participate in the Accelerator.

All applicants will be contacted no later than March 14, 2023, and will be notified as to whether they have been accepted or rejected.

The program kicks off with a virtual session on April 10, 2023.

While the main language used will be English, not every member of your start-up team is required to be fluent. It is advised that at least one team member or co-founder is able to converse in English.

No, but we prefer team members within the specialized areas to attend the sessions, and founder/co-founders to attend the in-person events.

Based on further discussions with the supply chain team, we would expect companies to deploy their solutions with the Oxagon team in person at the conclusion of the program.

Yes, all expenses for these events – including travel – will be covered.

Careful consideration will be given to evaluate each company’s alignment with the Accelerator mission objectives – its technology readiness, growth potential, manufacturing expertise and compatibilities of the management team.
