4. 3 Accelerators‘Accelerators'are considered sometimes‘the new MBA'21. Rather than students paying to go to a business school to learn case studies on how companies succeeded or failed,
an accelerator pays the students (through equity investments in their nascent businesses) to develop their idea into a company over a period of typically 3-6 months.
Accelerators running in Ireland include NDRC Launchpad, Endeavor, Wayra, Health XL, DCU Ryan Academy's Propellor Programme, New Frontiers, Selr8r,
In 2011, three of Ireland's accelerators were ranked in the top eight in Europe22. These programmes generally invite experienced entrepreneurs to lecture
accelerators are generally only available to hightech and high-growth companies with multimillion-dollar global revenue potential.
Like most startups, many teams that join accelerators do not ultimately become successful. However, a significant proportion of‘accelerated'companies do grow much faster
It is established well that many companies are formed because of accelerators that would never have been created without them (dozens per year in Ireland alone.
Most accelerators place their developing companies into big‘open plan'work spaces for optimal cross-learning and cooperation (in this way,
accelerators and co-working spaces are very similar). At the culmination of the accelerator programme, there is typically a Demo Day where investors come to consider the possibility of backing one or more of the launching companies.
In our opinion, Ireland is already benefitting hugely from the presence of several leading accelerator programmes.

and updated and curated more frequently with more contributors. 21 http://www. inc. com/flash-steinbeiser/accelerator-or-business-school-whats-best-for-young-entrepreneurs. html,
the Forum proposes that further private sector involvement in accelerators would be a huge support for the startup ecosystem. 26.
Successful entrepreneurs should consider establishing accelerator programmes in their local area, with a mind to investing or encouraging investment in the accelerated companies.
Vertical market accelerators are the avenue most recommended. 4. 4 Co-working spaces The unprecedented rise of co-working spaces has been documented well in some of the world's foremost entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Community Enterprise Centres have significant potential to further-32-23 Most accelerator programmes have good co-working spaces,
Examples of great co-working spaces at accelerators are at Wayra (Dublin Selr8r (Cork), NDRC Launchpad (Dublin.
Ireland's accelerator programmes are also achieving success in attracting foreign entrepreneurs. As mentioned previously
3 of the top 8 accelerator programmes in Europe are in Ireland, which draws a highly competitive and international pool of applicants.
To build on this, the challenge lies in the ease at which these entrepreneurs can establish their business in Ireland on completion of an accelerator programme.
We believe that foreign entrepreneurs accepted into competitive accelerator programmes in Ireland should be given a one-year visa to attend the accelerator programme in Ireland as well as to begin developing the traction of their business in Ireland.
For this reason, we believe that action around accelerator programmes work visas and links with China are timely.

Accelerators and incubators are another type of enablers. Both accept early start-ups that have a potential commercial viability
For instance, an accelerator is fixed usually a-term programme that provides start-ups with the network and training they need to grow their businesses.
