Stibo Accelerator

Stibo Accelerator is located in Århus, Denmark on Axel Kiers Vej 11. Stibo Accelerator is rated 3 out of 5 in the category think tanks in Denmark. The Stibo Accelerator applies the unique strength of the Stibo network to boosting research and entrepreneurship. First and foremost the Stibo Accelerator is an initiative launched to make sure we give value and ideas back to the industries we operate in and love so much. We want to spread our enthusiasm to the academic institutions that educate our potential future Stibo colleagues. Most of the teams we invite in to the Stibo Accelerator are Master students from various IT, business or journalism schools. There is a good reason for that: In the 6 months students are working on their Master Thesis, they have 100% commitment to this project and they are driven by a desire to research, build, test and iterate. From our experience these students find huge value in working on their projects in close collaboration with Stibo and our network. Instead of students working around the clock for 6 months on an exciting research project that only ends up as a 140 page academic report read by a few professors and sensors, our goal is to create the right circumstances around the thesis project so the unbiased talent and creativity of these students can help inspire real companies and real people with real challenges. Sometimes students end up being offered a job in the company they partner with, sometimes a job in one of the Stibo divisions and again sometimes students end up launching their own startup. Startups are welcome too – only condition is that Stibo can help them grow in a sustainable way. This means that a startup will not be admitted only if their business model looks good, but we will take them in if Stibo can be the “missing acid in the battery”.
