In the past few years, we have assisted a number of accelerator programmes graduates with their market strategy and execution. This clearly shows there is a need for a solution that is focused specifically on commercialisation, market access, and sales. 

For this reason, we have launched LaunchpadXR8. 

The main focus of our accelerator programme, unlike many others, is to specifically help you establish the first partnerships in the UK and beyond, and open sales channels once your solution or product is market-ready.

While this might sound like a challenge for many, we provide access to a UK-wide and global, well-connected, and well-penetrated ecosystem. 

The LaunchpadXR8 is delivered and supported by Open Solutions' high-level executives and industry experts as well as a network of partners and strategic organisations.
