The Sector X Acceleration Hub announces a set of startups for six new programs
The Sector X Acceleration Platform announces the set to programs for startups from across the CIS at various stages of development, focused on addressing the diverse challenges of young technology companies. Sector X is a space at UNIT.City Innovation Park that combines several areas — an accelerator hub for startups, corporate business programs and venture capital services for investors.
