Green Light is the most comprehensive acceleration program in the Moravian-Silesian region, which is organized by the Vysoká škola báňská - Technical University of Ostrava and which has been operating for the tenth year. The program is FREE for all participants. If you are from the Moravian-Silesian region or would like to do business here, be sure to apply! We would love to get to know you and your idea.

Depending on what phase you are in, you can choose from two variants of the program - Start or Accelerator. START is for those who have an idea and would like to find out how to take it further. In the ACCELERATOR, we would like to welcome everyone who has already verified their idea with potential customers and has a team working on it. The accelerator traditionally ends with the StartUp Show, where selected projects are presented to the public and investors. Take a look at the after-movie of the last show and soak up the startup atmosphere.

Every entrepreneur knows that things are not always rosy in business and that they will encounter many obstacles on their way. It is often not easy, especially at the beginning without previous experience. Fortunately, these days there are opportunities to bounce back in business right from the start, and the GREEN LIGHT is exactly one of them.

Participating in this accelerator really gave us a lot, above all it saved us a lot of time. We really appreciated how much know-how was passed on to us from the individual lecturers. We avoided a lot of dead ends that would have only hindered us or discouraged us from the project altogether. We are grateful to have been a part of it. I don't regret a single second or the energy we put into this project, the award from the Rector of the University and the amount of money we got were just icing on the cake. If we had to decide retrospectively whether we would have done it again, the answer is a clear - YES!

The Green Light Accelerator enabled us to develop our project faster.

In a structured way and under the guidance of an experienced lecturer, we had the opportunity to further develop key competencies for business - from creating a business plan, through a financial plan to marketing and sales skills. Connecting with experts within individual workshops, a whole range of useful contacts and a lot of valuable advice has moved us many times more in a relatively short time than if we had to obtain this information independently.

We would warmly recommend the GL Accelerator to both budding entrepreneurs and already started projects that want to develop further.

And that final - which we won - was spectacular!

Most startups don't have much money in the beginning, so everyone in the team does everything. And it's good if someone teaches you "everything".

GREEN LIGHT connected us with experts with whom we fine-tuned our PPC strategies, company presentation or marketing communication. Also the background of the GREEN LIGHT office, the support of the visual team and the feeling that you have someone to contact if necessary, is great. Honestly, GL has exceeded our expectations and is slowly growing beyond the borders of the region - it is becoming an accelerator of the European level.

GL materialized our idea into a real project. What we were only thinking about until then, we really solved during the GL program.

Regular consultations with a mentor moved us forward by leaps and bounds, and thanks to professional workshops we were able to create a functioning company out of nothing. Even though everything had to be moved online this year. The final GL Startup Show and the presentation of the project to top-level experts was a great test for us to see if it all makes sense. We received unique feedback and the financial support we received was the icing on the cake. Big thanks.

The GREEN LIGHT Accelerator was a venture for us with a great finale! Yet, we still prepare for a real challenge, which is the struggle for customers.

As part of the Accelerator, we went through all the main aspects of business. I recommend the Accelerator to people with a good idea who consider setting up a company, as well as to more experienced projects, since there is always plenty of room for improvement and many possibilities for learning new skills. The workshops with experts are very inspiring.

When a man has an idea and tells about it to his friend, he usually gets only weak support. It makes him insecure and cause him to stop believing in his idea.

However, when a man tells about the idea to anybody from the GREEN LIGHT team, he gets this response: “That sounds good. This could work! Let's have a look at analogy on the market and try to improve it!" The participation in the GREEN LIGHT was a great opportunity for us, thank you!

GREEN LIGHT works like a great starting line. We could verify that our idea does have a meaning.

Furthermore, we got to know our team and what roles we have in it.

At the beginning, I had an idea and now I am facing the completion of the prototype.

I have people interested in my product, I met a number of great lecturers who helped me with what I was not quite sure of, I started cooperation and I believe that this is far from over. GREEN LIGHT helped me get started and make my dream come true. ” Dominik Uskoba

GREEN LIGHT suddenly turned the project I worked on alone for a long time into a business.

I had to start working on it intensively, fulfil tasks and meet deadlines. It boosted me and motivated me. I applied for the Accelerator with a specific product and needed money. I know retroactively that money should not be the main motivation. I got excellent contacts and links to MSIC, met interesting people. Today, when I am solving a problem, I just pick up the phone and consult it with a particular person. This is the biggest benefit for me.

GREEN LIGHT taught me how to approach the presentation of my product and how to set my business plan.

I found out how important it is to first verify whether the project is marketable before I invest money and time in its technical solution and overall implementation.
