TEAC

A global engineering-led program that accelerates the route to success for startups in the telecoms market. Bringing a fresher, faster and open approach to innovation. They reach around the world, across technologies and deep into the telecoms ecosystem.

TIP Ecosystem Acceleration Centers (TEACs) form the heart of a global, engineering-led program that accelerates the route to success for start-ups in the telecoms market. They exist to enable a fresher, faster and open approach to innovation in telecoms. 

TEACs reach around the world, across technologies and deep into the telecom’s ecosystem. 

Each center partners with a leading telecoms service provider to speed up innovation and enable adoption of new technologies. Their focus is on providing opportunity: effective support for innovative start-ups, from concept through field trials to investment for growth.

TEACs select for success, matching teams and technologies with lab-based development opportunities.

In partnership with TIP (the Telecom Infra Project), some of the world’s largest telecom service providers host TEACs in Germany, Korea and the UK. Since launch in 2018, over 25 companies have been selected for programs at the three global TEACs. Each program is tailored to the start-up’s needs. The average program timeline is currently 12-18 months.
