Description

WISE supports technology-enabled education ventures that already have a product tested in their market. The accelerator offers coaching, specialist advice and connections to help founders grow. Applicants choose between an international track and a track focused on entering or expanding in Qatar. The application should explain what already works, who uses the solution and what measurable outcomes it produces. An idea without an operational product does not match the stated venture profile. Profile: For-profit EdTech business beyond MVP, with evidence of traction, users and sales. Seed to pre-series A; the stated target generally includes ventures with less than USD 500,000 raised. International track is geographically open; multiple co-founders are preferred but not mandatory. Support: Coaching, mentoring and education/investor networks. No guaranteed grant or investment round; partner funding opportunities have separate conditions. Application: Select the international or Qatar track according to the intended market. Prepare the product, users, team and business-model answers in English. Applications open 28 September and close 31 October 2026.
