Accelerate IT nominated for Pro-motor Award

Katapult's Pro-motor Award is the annual prize for an ambitious idea. Quality is rewarded and innovation stimulated.

A jury of experts assesses the ideas based on a number of fixed criteria.

We are honoured with our nomination for the Pro-Motor Award 2025! Proud that we can contribute to innovation in the Brainport region. Hopefully a nice prize will follow. Will you come and support us on 30 September?
