The location of ABC accelerator is its greatest ad-vantage. not only is it located in the middle of the perfect testing ground for startup companies - the whole country of Slovenia is an ideal first proving ground. Slovenia is the only country in South-East Europe that is a member of both EUro-zone and EU. It is strategically located on the crossroads between East and West Europe as well as between Central and South Europe. It is just small enough to be man-ageable, but also very diverse. It is the perfect mini-mum reference market.

WhY noT TAKE AdvAnTAGE oF ThAT ? oThErS hAvE donE ThIS BEForE.

It has been a successful proving ground before – among other things, Ericsson set up one of its first full 3G networks here. Smart grids are already being tested here in cooperation with Japanese researchers. A 5G network pilot network is being implemented in Ljubljana. European Union’s Galileo programme (Europe’s initiative for a state-of-the-art global satellite navigation system) is expected to have its headquar-ters here.

A pErFECT LoCATIon For InTErnATIonAL EXpAnSIon

Being located in the heart of Europe, this location truly allows compa-nies to spread anywhere – East or West. Some of the most important European business hubs are less than a three hours’ drive from the ABC office. And it has the largest deep-water port in northern Adriatic, allowing easy logistics to global markets.

due to our ideal strategic location and size, we can quickly and pre-cisely validate a product, and its potential for success. Startups will be able to receive user feedback quickly and use it to pivot themselves towards success on global markets. ABC accelerator will assist them in expanding to international markets with our partnership network.

InTErnATIonAL pArTnErShIpS – A BrIdGE ThAT WILL hELp oUr CoMpAnIES EXpAnd

ABC is strategically connected to large, multinational enterprises such as IBM, Microsoft, AmCham, Ceed or BTC Slovenia and Cisco. Through this collaboration, ABC can offer its accelerated companies a very wide network and unique access to potential customers.

ABC Accelerator is actively promoting the internationaliza-tion of its startups. With a global network of partners, we can take them to global markets including EU, US and China. our founder the American Chamber of Commerce is helping our startups expand to the US market. They connect all business in the USA, helping you tackle the market with the help of ma-jor corporate partners. our technology partner IBM provides startups with direct access to any of its 42 innovation centers worldwide. It actively supports startups from ABC to use this network for their international expansion.

With the collaboration of big multinational companies and small startups, ABC’s business model is globally innovative and thus has a competitive advantage. Startups can test their solutions literally on ABC’s doorstep, then use the large cor-porations’ networks to embark on a journey of rapid growth.

ABC accelerator´s goal is to implement the accelera-tion program on our future generations, comprised of 8-10 startups. Within the first 3 months they will be focusing on education, coaching, and workshops. We will be engaging them with the most important, relevant contacts from their industry. We will be engaging them with the most important, relevant contacts from their industry and expose them to the investors.The idea is to push them from starting to starring, so the next 3 months they will be focusing on the expansion of the startup.

Launched on the 30th of March, current startups are taking part in the program that focuses on customized SmartCities activities. They work on hotel operation management, water and waste management, smart retail, food waste reduction, smart mobility, internet of things, smart advertising, and smart crowfunding.

our role is to help them them build a full business strategy in the specific sector and sharpen their skills throught intensive mentoring. The first phase of the program is concluded when teams attend the demo day, or the »d« day. The teams will pitch to a room full of angels, vCs, and industry representatives from Europe, Asia, and America. It is their final presentation, but the journey doesn´t end here. In the next three months we are dedicated to help them spread to other markets. At ABC Accelerator, we are scalling globaly, and we expect nothing less from our teams.

our support for the next 3 months is passive, but with full infrastruc-ture – mentors, external partners, and technical support – will remain available and help them target other markets. As our teams are expanding, we are already launching a new program on Smart Living & health that will begin on the 5th of october 2015. The selection days will take place on the 17th of August, when we will welcome the best

startups that will apply. We are constantly expanding and planning ahead the accelerator´s third programm that will focus on ICT con-nected technologies (exact technology field not specified yet) and will be launched in Spring of 2016.

our investors, mentors and partners are actively engaged with the startups. At ABC, we have investors coming in on a daily basis, checking team progress before the demo day. They become their key advisers. It is in their and our best interest to help our startups grow, so for the years to come, we have a full list of educational activities related to the acceleration of the startups, for example:

General coaching of the most important elements of startup development

Business Model Generation & Canvas

Investment pitch Sessions

product development according to the lean startup methodology

Team-building coaching

These will be supplemented with an educational program on startup development – the ‘startup school’ – organized by acclaimed lectur-ers with years of experience in education, including several univer-sity professors of entrepreneurship, as well as serial entrepreneurs with hands-on experience in startup development.

The ABC Accelerator team will work with the startups for the whole program period, working for the startups’ success just as hard as them. They will be available at any time and will help startups with their broad range of skills and experience.

Specific workshops on each technology field - for example weekly workshops on Smart Cities technologies in the first program. For the duration of the program, startups will have there main office in ABC Accelerator’s premises and will have unlimited access to the resources available at ABC – for example cloud computing services provided by IBM.

from sTarTing To sTarring –The journey of our sTarTuPs

ABC will also host events organized by other institutions in the startup support ecosystem – for example Startup Café, a monthly early-morning meeting of different actors in the startup ecosystem. ABC is also present at events such as PODIM entrepreneurship conference and EXPO in Milan 2015.

ABC accelerator has a vision of becoming the leading hub for the development of startup companies in South-East Europe. We aim to change the startup ecosystem in the region.

We will implement 2 programs per year with 10 startup companies in each program. programs will be technology- and industry-specific the first program in 2015 was targeting Smart Cities technologies and the second one will be on Smart Living & health. our subsequent pro-grams will also have a clear product and market focus.

abC’s long Term Plans

oUr UnIQUE CoMBInATIon oF rESoUrCES WILL hELp ThE STArTUpS SUCCEEd

After implementing 10 programs in 5 years and accelerating the growth of 100 startups, we will be actively developing the investment landscape in the region of South East Europe. After developing the ac-celeration platform in the form of ABC accelerator in Ljubljana, we will aim to expand it to other countries, both in the region and further (with China being of strategic interest). We will create a bridge between re-gional startups and foreign investors as well as fostering the creation of startups within the network of ABC-branded accelerators and hubs.

Finally, we will develop an investment platform that will allow inves-tors in all stages (pre-seed, seed, early-stage, A series, B series and potential Ipo) to invest into our companies and those associated with our acceleration platform.

With ABC accelerator, we will reach the highest level of startup entrepreneurship, and help startups & SMEs both in refining their business model, and get-ting them ready for investment. We will achieve this in the accelerator based on the following guidelines.

Intensive work by innovative teams, focusing on industry and technology spe-cific programs.

providing them with all necessary re-sources, including an initial equity invest-ment of 15.000 EUr in cash and much more in free services.

Unique approach to business accel-eration - fusion of the concepts of an accel-erator, an incubator, and traditional entre-preneurship. We will have more than 130 workshops, coach-ings and lectures in every program. More than 90 mentors are available to startups.

The iterative process of hypothesis valida-tion and feedback gathering directly from the testing environment that is BTC City in Ljubljana, Slovenia- the largest retail area in Slovenia with high-density of potential test clients for startups. The loca-tion itself provides an ideal testing ground for startups.

The connection of startups and SMEs to both East and West (including the partner network of 42 IBM innovation centers across the globe and partner institutions in China), and the possibility of their expansion to global markets such as Asia or the USA.

Improvement of the foreign view of the region, both in the business and social sense.

Constant open com-munication between our teams and the business world through our own open investor portal system.

Striving towards a constant improve-ment in many areas, and especially in the improvement of the investment ecosys-tem into the region.

whaT do we looK liKe ?

ChArACTErISTICS oF oUr phYSICAL hoTSpoTABC accelerator covers an area of almost 1000 square meters. It has open office spaces for its 8 accelerated companies as well as a lecture hall with projection screens, a video-conferencing room, a lounge and several meeting rooms, as well as offices for ABC staff, ICT support center, kitchen and the traditional utilities. Additionally, ABC accelerator also hosts the CEEd network premises (www.ceed-slovenia.org) that in-clude another lecture hall, office spaces and individual meeting rooms. If requested, some of the several meeting rooms can be converted to closed workspaces. All premises have both Wi-Fi and LAn network ca-pabilities with state-of-the-art technology assuring excellent connectiv-ity. over 7 kms of new LAn wiring has been installed in the accelerator to assure uninterrupted and rapid connectivity.

ABC accelerator can thus accelerate 10 projects with up to 50 employ-ees per program (it will implement two programs per year). In its lec-ture rooms, it can host events with up to 100 participants, but can also organize bigger events at the conference halls available in the vicinity of its premises. This gives an option to organize two events at the same time.

13

Additionally, ABC has developed a strategic partnership with IBM that has its regional headquarters in the vicinity of ABC. At IBM’s loca-tion, one of its 42 global Innovation Centers is operating. It offers a full list of technical resources including Cloud computing resources and infrastructure and Smarter Cities support (full list of technical resources is available at https://www-304.ibm.com/partnerworld/wps/servlet/Contenthandler/isv_com_tsp_iic_resources_tech ). In March 2015, IBM also opened a new IBM data Center in the same lo-cation specifically targeting cloud computing technologies. With the help of over 70 experts and computer servers based locally, it offers a unique access to startups to a cloud computing technology and resources. Both IBM Innovation Center and data Center are available to ABC Accelerator and its accelerated companies as a part of the strategic partnership agreement. They can be accessed either re-motely through virtual private network (vpn) service or personally at the IBM headquarters that are only a couple of hundred meters away.

In the vicinity of ABC accelerator, a pilot implementation of a 5G net-work is also being tested as a part of the EU’s horizon 2020 iCirrus research project.

our mentors become like family to our startups and therefore we pick them carefully.

We have over 120 mentors, and like in our team, their diresity helps us build a bridge between startups and the enterprise world. They come from al walks of life and business, but have one thing in common - they want to help startups succeed.

Moveo is developing smart sensors called MBlocks in different colors in a box.

A mobile app with an avatar leads kids and shows them movements through fun stories and increases their imagination. We provide market games where kids can purchase an upgrade of the app.
