About

As a front door for entrepreneurs in the region, CO.LAB offers a variety of programs to assist all types of entrepreneurs. Our programs are designed to support the life cycle of an entrepreneur – from concept to investment – which in turn creates a model for building a strong startup community. By providing something for everyone, we ensure they receive the support needed at every step of the process, providing guidance and mentorship along the way. Our CO.Starters facilitators help founders build the basic knowledge required to launch a business. Our accelerator programs focus on HealthTech, Consumer Goods, transportation & Logistics, and Energy.
