Arieli Innovate Powers the Go Global Romanian Accelerator in Milan



Arieli Innovate, the innovation branch of the Arieli Group, recently marked a significant milestone by successfully concluding the Go Global Accelerator Program in Milan. This program is tailored to assist some of Romania’s most promising startups in their quest for international market expansion through structured support and guidance.

The Go Global Accelerator is a collaborative venture involving Upgrade 100 and How to Web, both pivotal entities in Romania's tech startup landscape. Together with partners like Raiffeisen Bank Romania and AmCham Romania, this accelerator provides a robust framework that assembles leading stakeholders in innovation and investment. By doing so, it equips selected startups with crucial resources, networks, and expertise necessary for scaling their businesses globally. This year, the program focused on positioning 13 high-potential startups within sectors that are poised to lead future advancements, including artificial intelligence, fintech, healthcare, and sustainability.

During the accelerator, participants engaged in over 400 curated sessions with global investors, industry leaders, and potential collaborators. This immersive experience was essential for refining their market entry strategies, ultimately accelerating their journey to success beyond borders. These high-intensity interactions, emblematic of Arieli Innovate's methodology, serve as fast-tracks, creating pivotal introductions that can open doors to strategic opportunities, thereby enhancing the startups' ability to gain immediate traction in global markets.

Bogdan Popa, the Vice President of Operations and IT at Raiffeisen Bank Romania, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the diverse array of startups that participated in the program. He noted, "I was positively surprised by the diversity of the startups in the final round, their energy, and their desire to go global. The program was a great journey of learning, networking, and constructive exchanges of ideas, allowing all of us to gain insights and take the Go Global vision further."

Or Haviv, a partner and the head of Arieli Innovate, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to cultivating innovation ecosystems, remarking on the success of the Go Global Program in Milan as a testament to the transformative capacity of European startups. He emphasized that cross-border collaboration among ecosystem leaders drives economic growth and sustainable impact.

Dragoș Stanca, founder of Upgrade 100, highlighted a critical challenge faced by Romanian tech companies in achieving international success. He pointed out that many struggle due to barriers such as insufficient connections and the specialized know-how necessary for rapid scaling. Stanca further noted, “There is much for Romania to learn from established ecosystems like those in the U.S. and Israel. A year later, I am delighted to see our local initiative successfully launched.”

Arieli Innovate aims to bridge the gap between innovative ideas and real-world applications. By facilitating tailored programs that connect emerging ventures with established corporate environments, it accelerates the commercialization of groundbreaking technologies on a global scale. The organization has already launched over 20 international programs and boasts a global alumni network that fuels ongoing innovation.
