What Do Startups Gain?
Through the BALI program, startups take part in a structured series of workshops, mentorship sessions, and individual consultations to refine their business models, optimize investment strategies, and prepare for pitching to investors.
The focus is on practical skills that help them attract investment and expand into global markets.
A Program Tailored to Startups
Participants have the opportunity to join speed dating sessions with investors, who provide valuable feedback on their business models, strategies, and investment potential. Based on this feedback, we individually design a program for each startup, tailored to their specific needs and challenges.
Each company is also assigned a personal mentor, who supports and guides them throughout the entire acceleration process.

Stay tuned as we share stories of progress and success from startups participating in BALI 2025/26. This year’s program maintains its individual approach but will be even more in-depth and focused on concrete investment opportunities.
