About the Scale Accelerator
Launched in 2023, the Scale Accelerator is designed to help UN teams move innovative solutions from pilot phases to broader implementation. The programme provides a structured, evidence-based curriculum that guides participants in developing sustainable and scalable models for social innovation. The aim is to ensure that impactful ideas reach more people and communities, addressing global challenges through innovative approaches.
Workshop and Expert Support
Selected teams will participate in a workshop held from 11-14 November 2024 in Finland. During this workshop, participants will work alongside a pool of experts to develop strategies for scaling their innovations.
The two teams that demonstrate the most promising scale strategies will receive the Scale Catalyst Grant, with each team being awarded USD 60,000 to support the implementation of their strategies. In addition to financial support, these teams will receive technical assistance and individualized mentoring. This includes guidance on monitoring and evaluation, pitch development, financial management, and other critical components of scaling.
