We will shortlist the top startups to participate in Accelerator on a rolling basis during the application period and invite them to a number of interviews. Following the interviews, we will announce the selection result and the cohort prior to the start of the Accelerator. 
The negotiations with the selected startups will start in parallel with the interviews and the due diligence process. The process will continue after the application deadline and will be subject to due diligence.
