Amazon’s Innovation Accelerator comes to Dartford offering unique training for local businesses
Businesses in London and Kent are invited to attend the Amazon Innovation Accelerator, a free programme that provides free training to local small businesses
Amazon’s exclusive Amazon Innovation Accelerator is coming to Dartford on 12th September and 4th October and businesses in London and Kent are invited to sign up now.
Now in its second year, the Amazon Innovation Accelerator provides small businesses with free training. Hosted at the Amazon site in Dartford, the Accelerator will also offer participants providing a peek-behind-the-curtain of how Amazon innovates and has scaled its own operations in the UK.
Through the Accelerator, small businesses in London and Kent will benefit from two days of in-person training workshops delivered by senior Amazon leaders, site tours where they can see some of the technologies being used by Amazon, along with a virtual masterclass covering topics such as, digitalisation, sustainability and social value.
“Our aim with the Amazon Innovation Accelerator is to support UK businesses to grow and create a culture of innovation within their own organisations,” said Amazon’s UK Regional Director Neil Travis. We received overwhelmingly positive feedback from a pilot last year, and are excited to be expanding the activity this year to six locations across the UK, driving growth in businesses from London, Kent and further afield.”
This year, the Accelerator has already supported businesses in Greater Manchester, the West Midlands and Stockton-on-Tees.
Small businesses operating in the manufacturing, engineering, logistics, retail or related industries and generating a turnover of at least £250,000 are eligible to apply for participation in the Accelerator. Spaces are limited and applications close 6th September.
