Access to investors, customers, and partners

D2XCEL Scaling Programme will foster the development of contacts, opportunities, and networks. The selected companies in the programme will unlock access to potential customers, and support in attracting investments of Series A, series A+ or equivalent and Europe-wide market access. The programme’s curated roadshow of in-person and online events is a pivotal element in facilitating these opportunities by bringing together investors engaged in the programme, corporates, lead customers, corporations, as well potential talent and leaders. Selected companies can leverage these events to showcase their potential, build strategic relationships, and drive business success.

Raising international awareness and visibility

The D2XCEL Scaling programme is dedicated to promoting the selected companies within and outside its networks. By joining our scaling programme, companies will gain access to prominent expert investors, network partners, leading customers, corporations, and fellow ventures. Engaging with these stakeholders through the D2XCEL network will enhance the visibility of selected companies within relevant industry circles.

We offer comprehensive communication services, including the publication of high-quality news articles, success stories, recorded pitches, promotional videos, and insightful podcasts. These materials will be disseminated through the D2XCEL website and across our social media channels.
