Let it Grow

The Accelerator

The 
Accelerator

To accelerate the urban green movement, we have to empower what is already there. To catalyse ideas into action, we support the pioneers in the field. By providing a testing ground and sharing our assets, we can create a tremendous impact.

How we facilitate innovation

The activities encapsulated by the Incubation Programme serve as the building blocks for facilitating innovation at Let it Grow. At its core, our mission to incubate the growth of young talent rests upon some basics: a nourishing work environment, a specialised team of mentors, and a lively programme that challenges innovators to shape their dreams.

Introducing the green innovators

15 startups and one artist formed the two classes of the Incubation Programme. Joining us from five countries, every innovator brings with it a disruptive idea that breaks free from the traditions of the floriculture industry and is on a mission to redefine how city dwellers engage with plants and flowers on a daily basis.
