= Eight Month Program =
Teams take part in an eight-month long program aimed at teaching innovators the skills they need to address the complexities of implementing new technologies in the developing world. The goal of the program is to familiarize teams with the global health market.
== Phase I: Pre-workshop ==
Phase one of the eight-month long program is the pre-workshop stage which lasts for six weeks. During this time, teams take online team self-assessments and partake in virtual meetings. The purpose of phase one is to orient innovators to the Xcelerator, the global health market value chain, and the mentoring process that they will soon be undergoing.
== Phase II: In-person Workshop ==
Phase two is a four-day, in-person, highly interactive workshop. The purpose of this workshop is to focus on building knowledge that will be critical to the understanding of the global health markets and to develop innovations that fit the market. This is done through the development of practical tools that can aid in the strategic planning of actions. Such tools include, but are not limited to: value proposition, value chain mapping, building partnerships and marketing and communication. A key activity conducted at the workshop is the strategy mapping of value chains to help visualize the requirements needed to bring your innovation to the market.
